    With 20 years of diverse experience 

    in Speech-Language Pathology, 

    I’ve had the opportunity to work across a variety of settings and populations. 

    This breadth of experience, combined with my personal journey, allows me to bring a compassionate and specialized approach 

    to vocal rehabilitation.


    Most recently, I had the privilege of working alongside a laryngologist in a multidisciplinary voice clinic, 

    further deepening my passion 

    and expertise in voice care.


    Now, in solo private practice, 

    I am where I’m meant to be. 

    Every experience has led me here. 

    It is my greatest joy to walk 

    alongside you on your path 

    to vocal and respiratory wellness, 

    offering the encouragement, 

    guidance, and care you deserve.

    During our sessions, we review your medical history, voice history, experiences, concerns, and needs. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that meets you 

    where you are and works towards 

    where you want to be. 


    We'll discuss how your breath and voice work, and we'll find ways to optimize function. 


    Using a whole-person approach, 

    I tailor a combination of: 

    voice exercises, respiratory retraining, 

    manual therapy & practical methods.

     

    Through shared decision-making, 

    we’ll navigate how to apply these tools to your life in a way that is 

    achievable and empowering. 


    Your voice is uniquely yours, and I’m here to help you use it with confidence and ease.
