ABOUT ME
Welcome to my page! I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with a passion for helping children communicate effectively and express themselves. I grew up in the Syracuse, New York area and received my undergraduate degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from The College of Wooster in Wooster, OH. Shortly after, I obtained my Masters of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from Boston University. I've lived in Maryland since 2019 and recently moved to Frederick, MD with my fiancé, Matt, and our dog, Mylah.
​
With over six years of experience as a clinician in private practice, I have developed expertise in pediatric speech, language and literacy. I am particularly interested in early literacy skills. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations while tailoring my therapy approaches to meet the unique needs of each individual I serve. My goal is to empower my patients to unlock their communication potential to thrive in their everyday environments.
​
I am passionate about speech-language pathology and continuously strive to stay updated on the latest research and therapeutic techniques to provide the highest quality care possible.
MY APPROACH
Evidenced-Based, Patient-Centered Care
At LLC, I use a comprehensive approach that prioritizes patient-centered care, recognizing that each child is unique and requires personalized intervention. I use evidenced-based practices, ensuring that my interventions are grounded in the latest research and proven methodologies to guarantee the most effective outcomes for my patients. For the little ones, this includes integrating play-based techniques and principles of joint attention, as I recognize the profound impact of these interactions in facilitating communication and connections. For my readers, I use a multi-sensory approach to bolster their understanding and application of literacy skills. Moreover, I foster a compassionate and supportive environment across all my interventions to create a nurturing space for my patients to explore, grow, and achieve their therapeutic goals.
