About Us

Small Scale. Big Impact.

Hi! I’m a Speech-Language Pathologist with over 14 years of experience helping children grow their communication skills. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Linguistics and Psychology from the University of Michigan and a Masters Degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I hold the American Speech Language Association Certification of Clinical Comepetency (CCC-SLP) as well as a State of Michigan License in Speech Language Pathology.

I specialize in supporting neurodiverse learners and children with diverse communication needs, with training in the START Autism Program, UCLA PEERS social skills program, Lidcombe Stuttering Approach, DTTC Model for Apraxia of Speech, ADOS-2, Nonviolent Crisis Intervention, and QBS Safety-Care.

My approach is fun, functional, and creative—because kids learn best when they’re engaged, moving, and laughing. From scavenger hunts to real-world practice like ordering food or making phone calls, I design hands-on sessions that build confidence and real-life skills.

I’m excited to offer personalized, relationship-centered speech therapy in my private practice—helping every child find their voice and share it proudly with the world.

What our clients say

“We had such an amazing experience. This class was exactly what she needed to help with her struggles in communication with other kids. Her speech teacher at school was blown away at some of the things she implemented from the class during a session at school.”
