Our Team

CCC-SLP/TSHH

I have almost 20 years of experience working as a speech-language pathologist with children of all ages. I specialize in working with children who use hearing aids and/or cochlear implants to learn spoken language. Learning auditory verbal and listening techniques early in my career has allowed me to help children with all speech and language needs meet their goals.  I take pride in knowing I set up a fun, productive, structured yet nurturing environment. Families are often part of my sessions, as they are the child's best teacher. I love spending time with my family traveling to other countries and tropical islands. Sitting on the beach and listening to the waves is my happy place.

Fun Fact: I love hip-hop dancing and often 'dance like nobody is watching'

I have over 12 years of experience as a pediatric speech-language pathologist working with children from birth through college. My practice specializes in working with children who are deaf or hard of hearing in both auditory verbal as well as total communication approaches. Finding the individualized path to improved communication to make every student successful is my passion. Through this focus on auditory development and auditory support strategies, my approach is beneficial not only to students with hearing loss but also to all students presenting with speech sound disorders and language delays/disorders. The balance of exciting activities and a child-directed approach as well as a a lifetime of experience in child development and behavioral modification allows me to create an environment where all of the child's needs can be supported to allow for success. I take pride in integrating the needs of the whole child, including their family support and educational environment in order to foster success and generalization across their entire day.

CF-SLP/ TSSLD

I chose the field of speech-language pathology because of the large impact that speech and language have on a person's everyday life. It's how we express ourselves, make meaningful connections with others, learn new things, and so much more. Being a part of someone's journey on that path is so fulfilling. I love working with children and being able to provide language opportunities, naturally. In my spare time, I love hanging out with my mini-me, catching a movie, or trying a new restaurant.

Fun fact: I have an identical twin sister!

I always knew I wanted a career that would allow me to make an impact in someone's life whether that meant helping my client say their first word for the first time, helping them be able to find their voice, or helping a parent find the right resources or teach them how to enhance their child’s language skills at outside of the therapy room. I could give you 100 reasons why I love being an SLP, but to keep it short: no two clients are the same! I love being able to work with diverse clients with diverse needs, especially in a world that is far from black and white. I love spending time with my family and friends during my spare time.
