Play, Talk, & Grow is a private pediatric practice serving the greater Asheville area.   Specializing in the evaluation and treatment of speech sound disorders, including childhood apraxia of speech, phonological disorders, and articulation deficits, developmental language disorders, and supporting autistic children.

I value meaningful goals that represent the whole child. My therapeutic approach is respectful and strengths based for ALL families.  I am a play-based therapist that believes in following a child’s lead.  By listening to the child and providing engaging activities I am able to build trust and establish a nurturing relationship on which I can develop speech and language skills.

I am an airway oriented clinician.  My clinical procedures are guided by the understanding that airway health and breathing habits impact development and are linked to physical and emotional well being throughout the lifespan.

I provide home-health, virtual, and community centered service locations with licenses in North Carolina and Washington State.

Play Talk & Grow offers parents an enhanced experience through webinars and guided tutorials. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to be present and fully participate in therapy sessions. Connecting with the family is just as important as my relationship with the child.
