Speech-Language Pathologist
M.Sc., Reg. CASLPO
Every day, I feel honored to be a small part of my clients’ communication journeys. I have the great privilege of celebrating with families the exciting and encouraging milestones achieved along the way. When meeting a family, the first part of my therapeutic process is always about connection. Each interaction is an opportunity to connect with the individual and their support system about their goals, ideas, and perspectives. Communication, whether it is on a device, in an expression, or through words, is foundationally about finding ways to connect with those around us. I was raised in nearby Acton and I am excited to practice so close to friends and family. In my spare time, I enjoy running, baking, and searching for the best cup of coffee around.Â
