I am a private Speech Language Pathologist with a passion for working with children and their families in the St. Louis area. My services include speech and/or language therapy on a weekly/monthly basis. The session can take place in your home or an agreed upon location, whichever is more convenient for the client.
With over 8 years of experience working primarily with children ages 2-10 years with various disorders such as Apraxia of Speech, Articulation/Phonological disorders, Autism, Down's Syndrome, Fluency/Stuttering, Language delays, Language disorders, Voice disorders and more; I bring an array of various therapy techniques that are very beneficial to clients. My work experience includes outpatient pediatric rehabilitation with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, early childhood programs with Special School District in St. Louis, and as a clinical instructor at St. Louis University with undergraduate and graduate students. Having experience in both the medical and educational aspect of my field has given me a unique perspective that has greatly impacted the treatment I provide and has only strengthened my desire to work as a team with all caregivers.
My approach to therapy is to provide a fun atmosphere for kids that is both engaging and therapeutic at the same time. I also strive to obtain as much family involvement as possible to ensure that skills taught in therapy become part of everyday lives. With young children, I love to follow their lead and use their interests to increase their ability to communicate. My goal is to improve children's communication skills in a functional, enjoyable way.
