Upword Speech Therapy

Throughout my educational and professional careers, I have worked in children’s hospitals and clinics, preschools in urban and suburban neighborhoods, and private practices with varying specialties. I am trained in classic treatment methodologies and regularly attend presentations, conferences, and trainings on newer, evidence-based programs and protocols. I hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech Language Hearing Association and California State Licensure in Speech-Language Pathology from the Department of Consumer Affairs. I received a Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan and a Bachelor of Arts in Communicative Sciences and Disorders from Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. I am a Michigan native residing in San Francisco with my husband, Brian, and adorable cat, Stevie. I love taking walks through the different neighborhoods in the city, baking treats, and cozying up with a good book. On the weekends, Brian and I can often be found trying new restaurants, hiking along the coast, or traveling. I have had the opportunity to live in the Midwest, East Coast, and West Coast. I feel incredibly grateful for these experiences as it has introduced me to lifelong friends, new cultures, and differing lifestyles.
