I blend a deep, current knowledge of clinical research and the field’s best practices with a fresh, innovative sensibility, ensuring that our sessions are effective and engaging for children and adults alike.
As an independent practice, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each child and family. My practice is grounded in a relationship-focused approach. I work across the pediatric lifespan, with a focus on supporting each individual’s communication in ways that foster connection and meaningful relationships. I collaborate closely with caregivers to empower families with the tools, strategies, and confidence to support their child’s growth and communication.

I believe that truly effective therapy is grounded in a thoughtful, evidence-based approach—but also in deep connection, curiosity, and respect for each child and family’s unique strengths. My work is informed not only by over a decade of clinical experience, but also by my experience as a parent of two young children. I understand the complexities, joys, and challenges that families navigate, and I bring that perspective into every session.
My approach is collaborative, play-based, and relationship-centered—designed to be both effective and meaningful for each child and their caregivers.
In addition to being a Speech-Language Pathologist, I am also a certified yoga instructor, an avid cyclist, and nature enthusiast. These parts of my life help me bring a sense of energy, presence, and joy into my work with children and families
