Hello! I am a Registered Speech-Language Pathologist with experience supporting children, teens, and adults with a wide range of communication needs. My approach is strengths-based, collaborative, and individualized, with a focus on helping clients build practical skills that support communication in everyday life. I provide both assessment and intervention, and incorporate strategies that can be carried over into home, school, and community settings.

I work with pediatric clients from infancy through the teenage years, helping them navigate speech sound delays, receptive language (understanding directions and words), expressive language (communicating thoughts and needs), and social communication. Additionally, I support children and teens with literacy, fluency (stuttering), and accent modification. For adult clients, my practice focuses on accent modification, stuttering, social communication, and public speaking.

Navigating communication challenges can feel overwhelming, and knowing when to seek support is not always easy. My goal is to provide a warm, collaborative environment where clients and families feel heard, understood, and supported at every step of their journey. I am committed to helping clients build confidence and develop practical, meaningful communication skills for daily life. To support progress beyond our sessions, therapy is tailored to your needs and may include direct intervention, parent coaching, and practical home strategies. Together, we will identify meaningful goals and work at a pace that feels right, building a strong foundation for long-term success.

By working together, we can set meaningful goals and progress at a pace that feels comfortable and sustainable. If you are looking for support with speech, language, or communication, I am here to help you better understand your needs and take the next steps with confidence.

 

*Please note that I do not treat clinical voice disorders or accept ENT referrals. This includes addressing issues with vocal quality or strain (e.g., hoarseness, quiet voice), structural or functional conditions (e.g., nodules, polyps, muscle tension dysphonia), and voice rehabilitation for professional voice users (such as teachers or singers) experiencing vocal strain or injury.
