About Me
I am a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) with a background working in school settings and outpatient clinics, primarily with children and teens. My experience spans elementary, middle, and high school environments, where I have worked with kids facing a wide range of communication challenges — from articulation and language delays to stuttering and voice concerns. I believe every child deserves to feel heard and understood, and I work hard to create a space where they feel comfortable and motivated. I use a variety of evidence-based techniques, including cycles therapy, minimal pairs, AAC support, and fluency strategies, always tailoring my approach to what works best for each individual child. Family involvement is something I truly value. I make it a point to keep parents and caregivers informed and equipped with practical strategies they can use at home to reinforce progress. Whether working one-on-one or as part of a care team, I bring patience, empathy, and genuine enthusiasm to every session. Helping a child find their voice and gain confidence in communicating is one of the most rewarding things I get to do.
Why Clients Love Working With Me
I genuinely care about the children and families I work with, and that shows in every session. I'm patient, encouraging, and flexible — I meet each child where they are and make therapy feel approachable and even fun. Families tell me they appreciate how I keep them in the loop and give them real tools to support their child's growth at home. I'm a team player who communicates well with other professionals, and I'm committed to helping every child make meaningful progress.
