As a pediatric speech language pathologist, my practice is grounded in the belief that every child has the inherent ability to communicate and express themselves. My philosophy is to provide a nurturing, inclusive, and individualized approach to evaluations and treatment for my patient's and their families. I firmly believe in child-led, play based therapy that is neurodivergent affirming to meet all children where they are at and help them reach functional communication. My therapy sessions are centered on creating an environment where each child is seen as a whole person, respected and given the tools to succeed in their communication journey. I believe when children are empowered, families are involved, and collaboration is prioritized, children can thrive in their development and communication skills."
