Communication is powerful. We all deserve to be heard.

I started Intrinsically Speaking because I believe therapy should feel good — for the child and for the family. Too often children are asked to perform, to sit still, to do it the "right" way. I wanted to build something different. A space — whether that's your living room, your backyard, or your favorite park — where your child gets to just be themselves. Where communication grows naturally, in a place where they already feel safe and loved.

I earned my Master's degree from Nazareth University right here in our community. After more than a decade working with young children, I know that the earlier we support a child's communication, the more profound and lasting the impact. Early intervention isn't just helpful — it's life-changing.

Every child has something meaningful to say — and they deserve to be heard in whatever way works best for them. Whether that's spoken words, signs, a communication device, or something else entirely, I meet every child exactly where they are. No diagnosis, no label, no waitlist should stand between a child and being understood.

I also know that you — the parent — are the most powerful force in your child's development. Every session I provide is built around equipping you with tools, strategies, and confidence to support your child's communication every single day, not just the hours we spend together.

Getting to Know Your Child

Before diving into therapy, I spend time simply observing and playing — getting a real feel for your child's communication style, their strengths, and what lights them up. This shapes everything that comes next.

Ongoing Therapy

Play-based, child-led therapy sessions in your home, a community setting, or online — wherever your child thrives. Parents are always encouraged to participate and leave each session with tools to use at home.

30 or 60-minute sessions

Could your child benefit from therapy?

I specialize in early intervention and work with children through early elementary school — because the earlier we support communication, the more lasting the impact.

What families ask

My focus is early intervention — I do my best work with young children, and that's where I've built my expertise. That said, if you have an older child you're concerned about, reach out and we'll figure out together whether I'm the right fit for your family.

Intrinsically Speaking is a private-pay practice. By keeping my practice small and self-pay, I'm able to provide highly personalized services without the constraints insurance companies often place on session length, frequency, and treatment approach. HSA and FSA funds may be used — please ask for a superbill.

I come to you. Sessions are available in your home, in community settings (parks, libraries, preschools), or virtually — whichever works best for your child and family. I serve Rochester, NY and the surrounding Monroe County area, including Brighton, Pittsford, Webster, Penfield, Fairport, Greece, Gates, and Victor. Virtual speech therapy sessions are available to families anywhere in New York State. There is no clinic to drive to — and that's intentional. Children learn best in the natural environments where they already spend their time.

AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) refers to any tool or strategy that supports communication beyond speech — from picture boards to high-tech speech-generating devices. AAC does not replace speech; research shows it can actually support its development. If you're wondering whether AAC could help your child, a free consultation is a great place to start that conversation.

Early intervention is always better than waiting. If your child is not meeting language milestones — fewer than 50 words by 24 months, not combining words by 30 months, or you simply have a gut feeling something is off — reach out. A free consultation call costs nothing, and the earlier I can support your child, the better the outcomes tend to be.

Absolutely — parents are always encouraged to participate. You are your child's most important communication partner. I incorporate parent coaching directly into sessions so that the strategies your child is learning carry over into everyday life at home.
