What I Do
In my role, I provide neurodiverse-affirming care with a focus on collaboration between patients, families and therapists. I value child-led, play-based therapy that builds on the strengths of my patients and supports their communication in ways that feel authentic to them.
My clinical interests include early speech and language development, social aspects of communication, swallowing and feeding, and augmentative and alternative communication.
Why I Love My Work
Speech and language are such a fundamental part of connecting with the world. I love being able to help children develop the skills they need to express themselves confidently and to make a meaningful impact on their ability to engage with the world around them.
Getting to Know Me
When I’m not working, I enjoy cooking, trying new foods and restaurants, doing puzzles and going on walks. I also love spending time with my friends and family.
