Licensed and certified speech-language pathologist serving families in East Providence, Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts. I hold a Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology from Loyola University Maryland and a Bachelor’s from the University of South Florida. I’m certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and committed to evidence-based, neurodiversity-affirming, connection-based therapy.

Every child is competent, unique, and capable of communication. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, I meet each child where they are—tailoring therapy to their strengths, interests, and needs. My work especially supports autistic children, gestalt language processors, and children building skills through augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).

I’ve pursued extensive training so I bring current, learned practices to our sessions—including Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) for gestalt processors and the developmental framework ASD from the Inside Out. My specialty areas include speech & language therapy, AAC evaluations & therapy, school contracting (evaluations, direct support, staff training), and early intervention for children ages 0-3.

Therapy with me won’t happen at a table—we’ll move, explore, play, and connect. I believe young children learn best when engaged in joyful, meaningful experiences. Above all, I believe the best therapy happens through connection and joy. I’m honored to partner with families who embrace their children for exactly who they are—and I look forward to meeting yours.
