My approach is compassionate, patient-centered and tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I believe that effective communication is essential for connection, learning and self-expression, and I strive to create a supportive environment where patients feel empowered to grow and succeed. I have experience working with a wide range of ages and disorders, including articulation and developmental language disorders, aphasia, voice disorders and swallowing and feeding difficulties, among others. Through evidence-based techniques and collaborative care, I partner with families, educators and other professionals to help clients achieve meaningful progress. Above all, it is important for me to connect with my patients on a personal level and help build upon their current strengths. Building upon their skills creates long-lasting confidence they need to communicate and thrive in their daily lives.
