Speech-Language Pathologist
M.Cl.Sc., S-LP(C), Reg. CASLPO
Communicating and connecting with others is so engrained into our DNA. I have been fortunate enough to walk alongside families to gain (or re-gain) their communication skills and it always surprises me how truly impactful our sense of self is related to communicating with others. I never get tired of seeing clients reach their full communication potential and the joy it brings on their faces and the people around them. I have a special interest in speech sound disorders, stuttering, literacy and working with individuals with neurological conditions (including but not limited to Parkinson’s Disease). I grew up in Orangeville and now live with my husband and two children in Georgetown. In my free time I enjoy hiking and rock climbing. I consider myself an environmentalist.
