Welcome! I'm a dedicated speech therapist with 13 years of experience working within the school system. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of supporting students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), helping them improve communication skills and build meaningful connections. I am also certified in the Lidcombe Program for children who stutter, speech sound disorders, and AAC systems, providing tailored therapy that meets each child’s unique needs. My approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and focused on fostering growth in both academic and social environments. Let’s work together to support your child’s communication journey!

Ages 10-18 Summer AAC Play & Learn Group sessions- Thursday Evenings Communication is more than words — it’s play, connection, and shared joy! This special summer group is designed for young AAC users (ages 3–10) and their caregivers to learn, explore, and grow together in a relaxed, fun-filled environment. Each week, families will explore fun, CORE-word and theme-based activities that support expressive and receptive communication, device modeling, vocabulary building, and confidence. The focus is on creating opportunities for children to use their AAC systems in meaningful, natural ways while having fun alongside peers. While the children engage in guided play led by a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, caregivers will also receive coaching and tips on how to model language, expand vocabulary, and support AAC use during everyday moments at home, in the community, and beyond. This group is a safe, welcoming space for both children and caregivers to build confidence, learn new skills, and connect with other families using AAC.
