See how I can help →With communication
With literacy
Written language is spoken language made visible. When communication grows, so does confidence — and that changes how a child sees themselves, at school and everywhere else.
A speech pathologist who thinks like a teacher
With over 30 years of experience as a speech pathologist — and more recently as a qualified teacher — I support children, adolescents and adults navigating challenges in language, literacy and communication.
Blending clinical expertise with real classroom experience means the strategies we build together actually fit into everyday life — at home, at school, and in the moments that matter most.
Support shaped around your child
Every plan starts with your child's strengths, then builds gently from there.
Oral language
Vocabulary, listening and expression — the foundation for classroom and life success.
Reading & literacy
Decoding, fluency and comprehension that make reading finally click.
Writing & spelling
Sentence structure, grammar and word knowledge — getting ideas onto the page.
Social skills
Conversation, group learning and confident everyday interaction.
Parent guidance
Practical tools and professional support so you can help your child flourish.
Classroom & school
Curriculum-aligned strategies that translate straight into the classroom.
A calm, whole-child way of working
Progress happens when children feel safe, seen and unhurried. My approach is calm, structured and collaborative, with careful attention to emotional safety as well as learning needs — because I truly believe in every child's potential.
