Introduction
Hi, my name is Patricia! I am a bilingual speech-language pathologist, fluent in both English and Tagalog. I have worked in multiple different settings and have a wide range of experience. I really enjoy working with pediatric clients from ages 0-21 with a variety of speech-language disorders. Some of my favorite areas to treat include articulation, AAC, early intervention, and fluency. I am passionate about parent and caregiver education so that my clients can carryover their progress in the home environment! I am excited to connect with you and your family!
What words would you use to describe yourself?
If I had to choose three words that define my approach, they would be empathetic, patient, and playful. I understand that the journey toward communication can feel overwhelming for parents, so I lead with empathy and a calm, patient presence. However, since I work with little ones, I’m not afraid to get silly! Being playful allows me to follow a child’s lead and build the trust necessary for breakthroughs. When I’m not being a "play professional" in sessions, you’ll usually find me exploring the Bay Area’s best cuisines and beautiful sceneries to recharge.
Who are you best positioned to serve?
I am best positioned to serve families with toddlers and preschoolers (ages 0-5) who are navigating language delays, Autism, or the transition to AAC. My "sweet spot" is working with caregivers who are eager to learn; I thrive when coaching parents on how to weave language strategies into everyday life. My expertise is deeply rooted in the foundational years of development, focusing on play-based interventions rather than the academic or social complexities that older students often face.
