About

I have over 25 years of experience as a Speech and Language Pathologist in a wide range of educational and medical settings including early intervention, schools, outpatient, and homecare. I am ASHA certified and licensed in Pennsylvania and Delaware. I am PROMPT Bridge trained and DTTC trained. I have my Bachelor’s Degree from The University of Delaware in Early Childhood Education and my Master’s Degree in Communication Disorders – Speech and Language Pathology from Penn State. I specialize in articulation (speech sounds), apraxia, motor speech disorders, auditory processing, receptive and expressive language (including verbal and written expression).

I can quickly develop a rapport with my students by giving them my full attention and providing lively and engaging lessons in a positive atmosphere.” Even before I became the parent of a child with special needs, I recognized the importance of setting high expectations, thinking outside the box, and individualizing therapy based on a person’s specific strengths and needs.
My various professional experiences that provided opportunities to work closely with occupational therapists, physical therapists, and behavior specialists. Those experiences have provided me with a unique perspective and ability to incorporate ideas from other disciplines to help my students increase their speech and language skills.
