As a speech language pathologist, I have worked with children of all ages and backgrounds on developing their communication, cognitive, feeding, and/or swallowing skills. My areas of speciality include: feeding and swallowing, language development, articulation and phonology, and social communication and pragmatics. I have worked in inpatient acute care and rehabilitation hospital settings; outpatient therapy and specialty clinics; pre-K, elementary, middle, and high school settings; in the home; and, in private practices. In all settings, I seek to provide individualized care for my clients. I use meaningful and motivating activities and evidence-based practice to support development and change. I am mindful of each child's unique learning style, strengths and weaknesses, as well as his/her personal goals. In addition to direct therapy, I believe family/caregiver education and training are critical to a child's success. Therefore, I work closely with families, teachers, and other care providers to ensure that, together, we are helping each child learn and grow to his/her fullest potential.
