About the store

Experience

Teaching style

I do clinic, home, and school-based therapy throughout my day. With younger kids, I love focusing on play-based therapy, as so much research how kids learn so much more successfully through play. I love focusing on literacy-based and/or theme-based therapy to increase cohesion and understanding throughout my sessions.

My own education history

I went to the University of Michigan for undergraduate and then Northwestern University for graduate school. After graduating with my Masters Degree, I have continued to increase my educational knowledge by gaining training in Orton Gillingham. I've also continued to grow my knowledge base in the areas of play-based therapy, Social Thinking! curriculum, the SCERTS model, and much, much more.
