I feel like I have always had the desire to work with the pediatric population. With some guidance from a close friend, I enrolled in speech and language courses during my undergraduate years. I was instantly hooked! I have been working in Early Intervention alongside families to help their children reach their communication goals.

1. I am driven to continue pursuing education in the areas of feeding, specifically SOS and AAC.
2. I would like to become Hanen certified.

Masters of Science in Speech-Language Pathology

I enjoy this next step at Blue Bird Day as I continue to learn and grow as a therapist. It is exciting to work alongside other disciplines to better support clients and empower parents.

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.
