About Me

Before speech-language pathology, I was an early childhood education teacher. My time spent in a Reggio Emilia school shaped my belief that children learn best through exploration, curiosity, and following their own lead. That lives in every session I do today.

While teaching, I worked for a nonprofit recreational program for autistic children. It was a space where kids could come together and connect through arts and movement. The students brought with them all different needs, all different ways of communicating, and something clicked for me. I became fascinated with helping children find their voice and all of the different ways that could look. That curiosity brought me to graduate school, and I never looked back.

My clinical training took me across the lifespan from early intervention all the way to geriatric care. What a gift. Every population taught me something irreplaceable, and I came to understand that effective therapy is about more than evidence-based practice. It requires a whole-person approach. For me that means truly meeting someone where they are, honoring their strengths, and respecting their autonomy to build goals that are meaningful and functional, not just measurable.
