Why Social Language Matters

Pragmatic language is the foundation of connection. It’s not just the words we use, but how, when, and why we use them.
Difficulties in this area can shape friendships, confidence, school success, emotional regulation, and overall well-being.

Social communication is complex, nuanced, and deeply personal. I focus on this area because:

Many children and teens struggle not with what to say, but with how to connect.
Building pragmatic skills improves not only communication, but relationships, independence, and self-awareness.
I believe in neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based therapy that honors each individual’s unique way of connecting with the world.
