Important Resources and Information
I specialize in behavioral health, direct intervention, and parent and teacher consulting and training. My mission is to help children develop and improve social language skills, positive social interactions, and self-confidence, ultimately enhancing their overall well-being.
One of the key offerings is the Little P.I.C.A.S.S.Os program (Providing Interpersonal Communication And Successful Speech Outcomes).
This program aims to teach children pragmatic skills in a group setting while also supporting parents in carrying over these learned skills into daily life, fostering a more socially confident child in all aspects of their lives.
