"As a speech-language pathologist, I have specialized in working with children birth through elementary school and their caregivers. Every person is able to learn, at different rates and in different ways. I focus on strengths and areas of interest to teach underlying skills and concepts to help students learn in all areas. Learning can be challenging, and just as importantly, it can be fun! I attend to the student as a whole person and build on my belief that we are all life-long-learners.

My approach is very language-based, which relates to all academic, social and extra-curricular areas. With more than 20 years of experience, I have had the pleasure of being part of students finding and enhancing joy in learning! I enjoy learning so much that I am in school myself pursuing a Ph.D. in Education. Together, we will find the ways you learn best and help you meet your goals!

I have always enjoyed reading and writing. Through my education and experience, I have found a variety of techniques to help students with all aspects of Language Arts, from phonics and comprehension to writing lengthly reports. Being a speech-language pathologist allows me to understand the process from a variety of perspectives and individualize my approach with each student.

I have had the pleasure of working with infants, children, teens and adults with a variety of challenges, whether diagnosed or not. My experience with children who have Autism, Down Syndrome, Learning Disorders or other genetic or developmental delays has helped me recognize a multitude of ways of learning that are often overlooked. Sometimes, the most difficult aspect can be knowing where to start, but when the priorities are determined, many areas can be targeted with single activities. I meet each student where s/he is and help her/him get to the next level!

I would love to hear from you! Let's have a conversation about what you are looking for, and if I might be a good match for you and get started! My schedule is flexible, but tends to fill" less...
