About

I am a speech-language pathologist with over two decades of experience.  I spent the bulk of my career in Massachusetts, where I worked in early intervention, public schools, hospital clinics and private practice.  I moved from Boston to San Diego in the summer of 2018.  Since moving to San Diego, I have worked in a clinic setting, and as a consultant to local school districts.  I am a vendor for the Early Start Program with the San Diego Regional Center.  Additionally, I provide in home speech and language therapy to children birth-5 and to individuals birth -young adult who may require augmentative and alternative communication services.  Remotely, I provide teletherapy to families in Northern California and Washington state.  I earned my Master's degree from Emerson College in Boston, in Communication Disorders in 2004 and a second master's degree in Assistive Technology from Simmons College in Boston, in 2012. I have a special interest in working with individuals with Rett Syndrome, and I previously worked as the speech and language pathologist at Katie's Clinic for Rett Syndrome and Related disorders at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland, CA. I have also been fortunate to work with individuals with a variety of diagnoses including Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, Cri-Du-Chat, FoxG1 and other complex diagnoses. I have a passion for working with young children and AAC users to foster the love of communication through engaging play-based, literacy and community based activities.
