Play-Based Speech Therapy

Research shows that kids learn best when they're engaged and having fun! I’m passionate about using my experience to find what motivates each individual child.

Testimonials

“We have seen our daughter interact with at least five other speech therapists in clinical and private settings, and no one has connected with her as well as Alyssa. She is patient when our daughter gets a little frustrated or wants to play, and seems to know exactly how much she can ask of her to keep her motivated. We've worked with her at playgrounds and in our home, and I'm really impressed with how naturally she is able to incorporate the sounds we are practicing. Our daughter actually looks forward to her visits, which is amazing since in the past she would shut down and even try to hide from speech therapists.

We feel really lucky to have found Alyssa and are optimistic about the amount of progress our daughter is making after just a few months! To top it off, she sends appointment reminders and has an automatic payment system so I don't have to remember to pay invoices, making the whole experience much easier!”

“If you're looking for an experience that helps both you and your child grow, look no further. Alyssa is great! She has helped us, as parents, learn and better understand how to communicate with our son, allowing us to connect with him in a much better way. Her gentle and understanding approach to teach him how to use his words to communicate to us what he needs, wants and ultimately wants to do next makes us glad we found Alyssa! Strongly recommend!”
