  • Trust your child's care to the experience and expertise that comes from working with over 1,000 families and completing a PhD. My experience creates my deep respect for families and for different scientific perspectives on providing meaningful care. By working in children's natural environments, I learn the particulars of their day-to-day routines to help you identify the tiny moments where new strategies can make an immediate difference. This way, your child gets tiny doses of new learning throughout each day, rather than just once a week in a clinic. It also avoids any adjustment time and puts new skills to work in the contexts they will be used the most.

  • In addition to meeting in your child’s natural environments, I can meet with you in your natural environment….…the internet. Because so much speech, language, and literacy care for young children occurs through parent coaching, virtual therapy works extremely well. We can schedule therapy anytime: weekends, evenings, during bedtime or mealtime or early in the morning, so that I can see what really happens in your day-to-day world, then help you make modifications toward the changes you want to see. You can even record videos of your most challenging or rewarding moments, then we can view and discuss them during your child’s nap time, so that you can focus. The possibilities are endless! Virtual care also allows you to access these specialized services even if you do not live in NC’s Triangle region.

  • I believe that all communication is valid, relational, and meaningful. While I participate in diagnosing delays and disorders when needed for health insurance reimbursement, I appreciate all communicative and personal identities. So, bring your real and full selves, knowing that I honor and celebrate each individual and each relationship. I will help you grow in the directions you want to grow.

  • We participate in equitable pricing with accessible, sustainable, and equitable rates for families to pick from. Equitable rates are for people who have greater access to financial resources (including health insurance and ESA+ grants as applicable). This rate helps redistribute wealth to the community by supporting accessible access rates, covering long term operation costs, and ensuring Village Growth Network facilitators are compensated for their time and expertise. Sustainable rates cover the basic costs of the event, class, or service. Accessible rates are for people who have less access to financial resources. Tiered rates and mutual aid agreements are set to grow our community's access and connection to resources and support and are variable based on a person's current access to financial resources.

    Equitable pricing is rooted in trust and compassion between facilitators, families, and the community at large.  We encourage families to honor their own financial health, which no one else can accurately measure.

    Equitable price tiers for therapy and coaching:

    • Equitable rate - $175

    • Sustainable rate - $150

    • Accessible rate - $125

    We do not bill insurance directly. We provide a superbill to allow you to bill your insurance for out-of-network care. 

    We are an NCSEAA (ESA+ grant) approved provider.

    We accept health saving account or flexible savings account payments.

    We consider flexible and creative payment agreements including trades of services. Please contact us to discuss your individualized payment.

I believe in you and your ability to create the life you want for yourself and your family. I can help you achieve it.

  • If you are looking for ways to teach your children to be open and accepting of all kinds of diversity, I can help. I help families analyze and modify their language and books to deconstruct implicit biases that have been passed along, unrecognized, for generations. No child or family is too young for conscious cultivation of kindness in every interaction.

  • Do you want to raise a child who loves reading and chooses to read for fun? I can help you. Together, we will identify strategies to create a culture of literacy in your home, so that reading is a seamless and treasured part of your family culture and your child’s sense of self.

  • If you homeschooling or considering homeschooling, I can help. I homeschooled my own two children. Both graduated from the North Carolina School of Science and Math and then from college. I can help you consider different strategies and locate resources. I believe in you and your ability to transform with world by nurturing children who love to learn.

Community Consultation

  • Public presentations

  • Professional development courses

  • Equitable representation and critical literacy skills through picture books and libraries.

  • Support for literacy organizations in creating culture to maximize mission driven work.

  • Expertise in research and implementation of literacy interventions.

Details

  • It is time for us to recognize the systemic issues related to literacy and stop placing the burden of reading achievement on individuals. I love to lead interactive sessions that provide learners opportunities to consider and practice critical literacy skills for their organizations and themselves. I personalize single presentations and multi-part courses that inspire people to use their lived experiences to connect children with books and learning. Contact me to plan a presentation for your parent or community group.

  • Many speech-language pathologists receive little to no training in early intervention or literacy. My evidence-based professional development courses give SLPs the tools they need to understand and enact evidence-based early intervention and literacy intervention. I also teach SLPs how to coach families from a deep and connected place. These coaching strategies lead to real and meaningful change in therapists' as well as families’ lives. SLPs are renewed and revived when they reconnect with their purpose and amplify their effectiveness. Let's plan a personalized course for your staff.

  • Early educators, bookgifting organizations, literacy coalitions, and library curators have a responsibility to ensure their picture books and literacy practices are equitable for all. Picturebook collections must include all identities and literacy lessons must help children develop critical literacy skills. Understanding that many perspectives exist and challenging what seems obvious are skills children can begin learning in the earliest days. Educators need to know how to teach them. I provide library analysis and curation to make sure your book collections provide equitable representation of all identities. Additionally, I can assist you with strategic planning and staff development to increase your organizational understanding of your role in providing authentic literacy equity.

  • Pricing varies by project. Contact me to discuss your needs.
