As a pediatric speech-language pathologist, I believe every child has the innate ability to communicate and connect in their own unique way. My goal is to create a supportive, engaging, and inclusive environment where children feel confident and motivated to grow. I use a child-led, play-based, and neurodiversity-affirming approach to meet each child where they are and build meaningful, functional communication skills. I view every child as a whole person—valuing their individuality, strengths and interests. Through collaboration with families and caregivers, I strive to empower children to express themselves with confidence and joy in all areas of their lives."
