I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist who is extremely passionate about helping individuals find their voice.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree in 2014, and Master’s of Arts degrees in Speech-Language Pathology at California State University, Chico in 2016. I hold my Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), California State Licensure as a certified Speech-Language Pathologist and I’m a member of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).

I have primarily worked in school settings. However, I also have experience with adults and infants in a private practice and home setting. Additionally, I have provided sessions in person and over zoom/telepractice. I work with individuals who have Autism, Down Syndrome, Angelmans Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Intellectual Disabilities, Traumatic Brain Injuries, as well as neuro-typical individuals with speech/language delays.

I incorporate movement, dancing, singing, music, visuals, games and technology into my sessions to help the needs of each individual. I also believe in the importance of working as a team. The team includes the individual, caregiver(s), and other professionals involved with individuals to provide the best treatment/intervention possible.

Along with assessing and treating speech/language disorders, I will also provide consultation with caregivers and professionals, co-therapy sessions with other professions (teachers, occupational therapists, etc), and attend IEP meetings or other meetings alike. I look forward to helping you or your child find your voice. 

 

“I absolutely love being a Speech-Language Pathologist and learning about what each of my clients enjoy doing and engaging with. I incorporate music, books, games, toys, technology, movement, visuals, and/or singing into each therapy session depending on the needs of the individual.”
