  • Client Testimonials

    “Emily simply is the BEST! She worked with our 9 yo and it was such a great experience. Emily's approach made all the difference -- she worked hard to establish trust and a genuine relationship, which excelled our progress and garnered confidence and self motivation in our 9yo. It was amazing! Emily communicated consistently and gave us lots of good ideas for success. Working with Emily was wonderful and I highly recommend her!”

  • Client Testimonials

    “Emily is a compassionate, knowledgeable, and insatiably curious expert in her field. The joyful energy and enthusiasm she brought to every session were contagious. She is very attuned to kids and my son made tremendous progress with her. Would recommend in a heartbeat!”

  • Client Testimonials

    “Emily is a gift. My daughter has been working with Emily for at least three years. Emily is creative, bright, patient, kind, and my daughter adores her. My daughter has Down Syndrome and speech is one of her biggest hurdles. Emily always has new ideas and innovations to share. Emily meets my daughter where she is at that day and is able to adapt in every imaginable situation that arises. We feel very grateful to be working with Emily!”

  • Client Testimonials

    “Emily is wonderful! She is very professional and understanding.
    I am very happy with her services, the experience and support she provides to my son.”

  • Client Testimonials

    “I attended a NEST training facilitated by Emily called "Embracing Neurodiversity in Schools." In the training were both educators and parents, and Emily managed to tailor the training content to reach the audience on both sides of the school experience. The training was so informative about neurodiversity and Emily's deep passion was evident throughout the presentation. I loved the handout she emailed after that outlines what different groups can do to embrace and normalize neurodiversity. I wish that this was a required training for all educators. Thank you Emily for sharing your expertise!”

  • Client Testimonials

    “Emily is a great speech language therapist and advocate for kids. She delivers up to date professional development that is nicely balanced with her experiences as both a private and school based provider.”

  • Client Testimonials

    “We found Emily at a point when we were scared and needed help but had no idea how to go about finding it. She quickly became an integral part of our team, and I honestly don't know what we would have done without her. She has answered so many of our endless questions and has helped our family navigate so many uncertainties, while also helping to identify the initial and subsequent problems, set and adjust goals and work with all of us to achieve them. I continue to marvel at how patient she is and how confidently she works with our daughter. The world needs more people just like her in it. While we're making great progress, we're not ready to move on from our weekly visits because our daughter looks forward to them so much.”
