What the Experience Looks Like for Parent Consultations:
Thoughtfully designed to meet your family where you are.
Every consultation is personalized, but here's what you can expect.
Before Your Visit
We'll start with a brief intake questionnaire to learn about your child, your concerns, and your goals before we meet.
This helps us spend less time gathering information and more time focusing on what matters most to your family.
During Your Consultation
For Guam Families (In-Person or Telehealth)
We'll spend dedicated time discussing your concerns while getting to know your child in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
Depending on your child's age and needs, the consultation may include:
• Play-based interaction and informal observation
• Review of developmental history
• Discussion of communication strengths and concerns
• Review of previous reports or evaluations (if applicable)
• Time to answer all of your questions
For Hawaiʻi Families (Telehealth)
Meet with me from the comfort of your home through a secure video visit.
We'll discuss your concerns, review your child's history, answer your questions, and develop personalized recommendations together. If appropriate, I'll guide simple parent-child interactions to better understand your child's communication in their everyday environment.

Within 3–5 business days, you'll receive your personalized Communication Roadmap, including:
✓ A summary of our discussion
✓ Key observations
✓ Individualized recommendations

Ongoing Support
Some families leave feeling confident after one consultation.

We're here whenever you need guidance.

Honest Recommendations. Always.
Every child is different.
Not every child needs speech therapy.
Not every child needs a comprehensive evaluation.
And sometimes, the best next step is simply monitoring development, making small changes at home, or consulting another specialist.
My commitment is to provide honest, evidence-informed recommendations based on your child's individual needs, not to recommend services you don't need.
Your family's best interest will always come first.
