About Me

I'm a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) with more than 10 years of experience working with children and families in early intervention and school-based settings. I've supported children from infancy through 12th grade, helping them build the communication skills they need to thrive at home, in school, and in their communities. I work with children who have a range of needs, including speech and language delays, articulation disorders, language disorders, and social communication challenges. My approach combines play-based activities with evidence-informed strategies, so each session feels engaging and purposeful. I tailor every plan to the child's unique strengths and goals because I believe therapy works best when it fits the whole child, not just the diagnosis. I offer evening availability and provide services in both English and Spanish, which helps me connect more meaningfully with children and families from diverse backgrounds. Above all, I'm committed to creating a warm, encouraging space where every child feels safe to grow and communicate with confidence.

Why Clients Love Working With Me

I keep sessions lively and fun by weaving in games, movement, creative activities, and digital tools that children genuinely enjoy. My goal is for kids to look forward to therapy, not just tolerate it. I bring patience and positive energy to every session, and I make a point of celebrating each small win along the way.
