Welcome to Play with Intention Speech Language Pathology

A private speech therapy practice in SW Calgary where we strive to make everyday moments count.

At Play with Intention, I believe that doing anything with intention can have a powerful impact. Our family-centred speech therapy sessions are rooted in honouring each individual’s strengths and ways of being in the world. I work to provide a fun and nurturing environment where children can confidently develop new communication skills through play, and families learn to build their child’s emerging skills into everyday routines, in ways that make sense for your life. By adding intention, we can make everyday moments count. I look forward to starting this journey with you!
