With nearly 20 years of experience as a speech-language pathologist, I am deeply committed to helping families overcome communication challenges and make meaningful progress. My career has included working in a community speech clinic and an autism school, where I’ve had the privilege of treating a wide range of speech and language diagnoses. I am passionate about finding individualized solutions that truly make a difference!

 

One of my areas of expertise is treating severe articulation disorders, including childhood apraxia of speech. This specialty is supported by additional training, experience, and a strong personal interest in this area of practice. I’m also honored to be recognized on the "Apraxia Kids" website, reflecting my commitment to providing the best possible care for children with apraxia.

 

As an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) specialist, I’ve worked with individuals in the community facing significant communication challenges. My work extends beyond direct therapy. I’ve also taught the graduate AAC course at The University of Akron and presented on AAC topics at local, state, national, and international conferences.

 

Outside of my professional life, I’m a wife, mother of two, and an avid horsewoman.
