Hi, I'm Elissa and I believe in the power of authentic communication and the beauty of every child's unique voice.

 

With over 20 years of experience,  I am dedicated to celebrating neurodiversity through strength-based therapy that focuses on your child’s individual interests and passions.  I provide neuro-affirming care recognising that neurodivergence is a part of who you are, not something to be fixed.

​

I work collaboratively with families, educators, and allied health professionals to create a nurturing environment where wellbeing is prioritised and differences are respected, so that your child can thrive. 

​

My approach is fun, family-centred, and tailored to support each child's communication needs, including language, speech sound difficulties/articulation, early literacy skills and social communication.

​

Join me in building meaningful connections to support your child's positive self-identity. Together, we can empower your child to express themselves confidently, build relationships and reach their full potential.
