Care that starts with your child
More connection.

Every child's communication journey is different. Understanding your child's strengths, needs and what matters to your family — is where meaningful care begins.
The first step is a conversation
Your child's voice. Their story.
Let’s make room for both.

Danielle is a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist specializing in expressive-receptive language delays, articulation, executive functioning and social-emotional learning with holistic techniques, integrated throughout sessions. With over 12 years of experience working with children and families in and around Philadelphia, Danielle has provided culturally competent speech-language therapy across various settings that include daycares, preschools, public, private and charter schools, and other community settings in early intervention.
In addition to pediatric speech therapy, Danielle discovered the positive connection and outcomes of incorporating movement and breath work into her sessions.

As a registered yoga teacher and certified Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Facilitator, Danielle is dedicated to merging traditional speech-language therapy with breath-work and mindfulness.
Danielle has put her certification as a Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Facilitator to use, offering engaging parent and teacher workshops to preschools around Philadelphia.

Danielle’s goal is to provide social-emotional learning through workshops to as many children, caregivers and teachers as possible.
