Introduction

Hello! I’m Nanette and I am a pediatric speech-language pathologist based in Sunnyvale. My therapy focuses on creating a positive, engaging learning environment while targeting each child’s goals and outcomes. My specialties include speech sound disorders, early intervention, receptive language and expressive language. I am also a Hanen certified SLP.

I am passionate about helping children build strong communication skills, empowering them to interact confidently in society. I also believe in a collaborative, team-based approach, working closely with families to support each child’s progress.

When I’m not in therapy sessions, I enjoy spending time with my pets, reading a historical fiction book, or learning a new language.

What words would you use to describe yourself?

Creative, Patient, Collaborative

Creative: I think outside the box when I plan therapy activities and find innovative ways to approach therapy, focusing on the child’s strengths and abilities.

Patient: It's so important to be patient, calm, and understanding. Giving the child the space they need can help them feel comfortable and enjoy learning in the therapy session.

Resourceful: I love working together with parents and caregivers to support their child's journey in enhancing communication skills.

Who are you best positioned to serve?

I am best positioned to provide speech therapy services to children with articulation/phonology delays, receptive language and expressive language delays.

Voice and social-pragmatics are not my primary area of expertise, so families seeking voice and social-pragmatics support may benefit from a therapist with specialized training, and I’m happy to help guide them to the right resources!
