About Me
Practicing since 2016
My work is grounded in current research and clinical based practices, with a strong focus on measurable outcomes and long-term communication effectiveness. My approach to therapy is empathetic, evidence-based, and tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I work closely with families and caregivers because I believe therapy is most effective when support continues beyond the session. As a therapist, my goal is not only to improve communication skills but also to empower my clients to use them confidently in their daily lives.
I aim to contribute to the field of speech-language pathology through ethical and client-centered practice and hope to be a meaningful part of your child's development!
