Introduction
With over 8 years of experience as a speech-language pathologist, I specialize in supporting children from birth to age five through a blend of structured and play-based therapy. My passion lies in helping young children find their voice and empowering families to feel confident, supported, and involved in the journey.
Based in Los Angeles, I work with clients from birth through adulthood, with a focus on early intervention, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and gestalt language processing. My approach is strength-based and individualized — I believe in meeting each child where they are, building on what they do well, and celebrating progress at every step.
Families describe me as caring, patient, and committed to helping every child feel heard and understood. While I don’t treat voice disorders, cleft palate, or deaf/hard of hearing populations, I’m always happy to help families find the right fit if my services aren’t a match.
When I’m not in therapy, I’m spending time with my daughter, exercising, or diving into new research and continuing education. Helping others communicate has always been my calling — and I’m honored to be part of that process every day.
