About Me!
I am an ASHA-certified Speech-Language Pathologist with over 16 years of experience working with children in both private practice and public school settings.
I firmly believe that every individual has the right to communicate and that anyone with communication challenges deserves a dedicated and skilled Speech-Language Pathologist who is committed to their success. Establishing strong relationships with my clients and their families is vital for achieving favorable outcomes in speech therapy. I consider the opportunity to build meaningful and lasting relationships to be the best part of my job and, undoubtedly, the most rewarding. I can honestly say that I love my profession and feel grateful every day for the opportunity to do what I do.
My Approach!
Motivation is everything! The number one rule: make your speech sessions fun, so your kids are excited and can't wait to see you! However, every child is unique, and you must find what motivates them.
It takes time to connect with each child, to learn what they love and how they learn best. Whether it's through pretend play, books, sensory activities, or humor, I tailor every session to create a fun and engaging experience that keeps kids interested and motivated.
I use evidence-based speech and language therapy techniques, but deliver them in a way that feels playful, encouraging, and full of positive reinforcement. This approach is structured, but never rigid. It's supportive, but always goal-focused.
