Passion for Teletherapy

I have had a passion for teletherapy since I was in graduate school. When the pandemic happened in early 2020, it allowed me the opportunity to use this the service delivery model. I enjoy the flexibility it provides both me and my clients. Over the years, I have been learning and evolving how I provide my virtual services. I have never met another therapist that offers hands-on activities though the teletherapy service model. I am proud to provide quality, engaging, and fun virtual speech therapy for my young students. The technology that I use is highly modern allowing for multiple views. I have had many professionals in my field inquire about the unique way I provide virtual services.
