My Services

I provide Speech Therapy that focuses on the individual client and the family as a whole.

I started Dynamic Expression so that I can make remarkable change with my families, and be a source of inspiration and growth! With this in mind, sessions are an hour in length and focus on direct and coaching models.

Those working with me can also access my 2x/ month free group meetings to connect with other families!

Read the FAQs below to learn more about the practice, options, and pricing!

FAQ

1. Who are your clients and where are your sessions? 

I can work with clients in English and in Spanish.

Since parent-coaching allows for a virtual platform, I can take clients who live in the following states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, New York, and California.  

I can see clients in Columbus OH at my in-home clinic in Grandview Heights, OH for a hybrid coaching / direct treatment model.

2. How are you different from other professionals in your approach to the treatment of Autism and other Speech and Language Disorders?

I strive to create goals for the child AND the entire family.  I view the family as equal partners on ‘Team Child” and we work together to create and successfully meet goals.  I use methodologies from a variety of Autism programs and focus on the building blocks of communication in a mindful progression.  My therapy rarely involves rote ‘drills’ and often involves continuous adaptation and growth for the child and family. My goal is for the child to achieve genuine independence driven by an intrinsic motivation to succeed.

3. For what type of family/ individual is family-coaching going to work?

Coaching will work best for families who are good collaborators and motivated to learn the strategies for themselves. Families do best when they are able to reflect on their abilities, their progress, and their goals.  Instead of a teacher-student relationship, we will have a team-based relationship. 

Some families are too overwhelmed to make the space in their lives for the Autism coaching model at this point. Feel free to follow my blog and learn about strategies to try at home. I try to adapt my therapy to fit a variety of family types and their needs.  I am amazed at the progress when I am able to work with families as a team! 

4. What is the evaluation process?

Families fill out questionnaires prior to our first session. We review the information collected in the first session, and create a treatment plan together. Depending on the funding source and the needs of the family, a more comprehensive evaluation may be scheduled.

Comprehensive evaluations for Articulation, Language, Relationship Development Intervention, and / or AAC with a written report are $250-550 depending on time and need.

4. What results can I expect?

  • Your child’s meaningful communication skills will improve.
  • Communication initiated by your child will increase.
  • You will feel more connected to your child
  • You will have a greater understanding of how to support your child in daily routines

5.  May I connect with some of your former clients to see what it’s like to work with you? 

Of course! I have several families who have agreed to speak with potential clients. Send me an email telling me a little about yourself and your child so I can reach out to the family that would best be able to answer your questions.

6. How long is the program?

I always say that “I am here to work myself out of a job.” Services will be complete once you are confident in your own ability to guide your child toward his or her full potential.  

Most often, programs are 1 – 2 years. 

7. My child does not have Autism; do you provide other Speech Language Pathology services?  

Absolutely! I can see your child in person in Columbus OH (at my Grandview Heights location), and I can provide virtual therapy to clients living in OH, CA, MA, VA, NY, and PA.  Direct sessions that don’t require parent coaching can be billed for 30 minutes.

  • I work with a variety of diagnosis and areas of specialty. Other areas include:
    • Deaf /HOH (Conversational in ASL)
    • Phonological Disorder
    • Early Intervention / Language Delay

8. How much are sessions? And how can I get them funded?

  • Hour sessions are $125 a session. I offer package discounts to those who are paying privately.
  • I will soon be an Autism Scholarship Provider for families residing in Ohio!
  • I can bill towards out of network and supply you with a superbill. I accept HSA cards.
