I have served students and families as a certified educator since 2010 and as a Certified Academic Language Therapist since 2022. My work centers on helping students understand how language works and giving them tools they can use with growing independence.

Why early identification matters
Reading difficulties can reach beyond reading.
When reading needs remain unidentified, students may have increasing difficulty accessing grade-level text across subjects. Assessment can clarify the skills that need support and guide appropriate instruction.
Only 31% of U.S. fourth graders performed at or above NAEP Proficient in reading in 2024, reflecting an immediate need for stronger reading support nationwide.
Source: The Nation's Report CardChildren who were not reading proficiently by the end of third grade were four times more likely not to graduate from high school on time than proficient readers in a longitudinal study.
Source: Annie E. Casey FoundationThese population-level findings show why timely support matters; they do not predict any individual child's outcome. NAEP Proficient is a national performance standard and is not the same as grade-level proficiency on a state or local assessment.

Featured guide
What makes dyslexia therapy different from tutoring?
Learn how explicit, cumulative, and diagnostic instruction targets the underlying language skills involved in reading and spelling.
Request the parent guideFrequently asked
Good questions are welcome.
Is dyslexia therapy the same as tutoring?
No. Tutoring often supports current assignments or grade-level content. Dyslexia therapy uses explicit, systematic, cumulative instruction to address the language skills underlying reading and spelling.
Does my child need a dyslexia diagnosis to receive support?
No. Structured literacy support is also available for students with reading or spelling difficulties who do not have a formal dyslexia diagnosis. A parent consultation can help determine whether the service is a good fit.
Can you support my homeschool student?
Yes. Homeschool support can provide individualized reading, spelling, and written language instruction that complements your curriculum. We will discuss your learner's current skills, goals, and homeschool program during the consultation.
Can you assess my child for reading difficulties?
Yes. Reading assessment is available to identify patterns of strength and difficulty across important reading-related skills. Results are explained in family-friendly language and used to guide recommendations and appropriate next steps.
How is progress measured?
Progress may be monitored through oral reading fluency, reading accuracy, decoding, spelling, written expression, and mastery of taught concepts. Families receive explanations that connect the data to daily reading performance.
Are virtual sessions available?
Yes. Virtual appointments are available. During a consultation, we can discuss whether the format is appropriate for your student's age, needs, technology, and learning environment.
What should I bring to a consultation?
You may wish to have existing evaluations, school plans, recent progress reports, and your questions nearby. Please do not send confidential student records through the public inquiry form.
How often do students attend?
Frequency depends on the student's needs, goals, and availability. Consistency matters, so the recommended schedule will be discussed before enrollment.
