Speech-Language Pathologist
Blue Bird Day Employee Since 2024

• CPR Certified

• Adult and Pediatric Dysphagia

I started my undergrad career convinced I was going to become a clinical psychologist, however when I discovered speech therapy, I made sure I did everything to get involved in the field. Ever since then, I will never get tired of talking about why I love being an SLP. It is so rewarding to provide individuals with skills to help them effectively communicate with the world around them. For the past two years, I’ve worked with the geriatric population in a Skilled Nursing Facility, but now I’m happy to say I’m back to what I love best, working with children to help them build confidence and autonomy in their own communication abilities.

Blue Bird Day fosters socialization, sensory regulation, and pre-academic learning in children ages 2–7 years in therapeutic rotations that simulate  preschool and kindergarten settings. Our compassionate therapists practice a relationship-based and family-centered approach, provide parent training, and collaborate on goals and individualized intensive treatment plans for your child.

We believe in a collaborative and multi-disciplinary team approach to therapy.  A team of occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, dietitians, developmental therapists, behavioral therapists, physical therapists, and therapeutic assistants are created for each child to ensure child and family are fully supported and the best possible results are achieved.  

Options for individualized, group and virtual therapy sessions are available as well.
