Introduction:
I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with over 9 years of experience delivering evidence-based therapeutic services to children with speech, language, and communication disorders. My practice is anchored in ethical standards, cultural competence, and a child- and family-centered philosophy. I am passionate about empowering children to build essential communication skills, supporting families through active collaboration, and contributing to inclusive, developmentally supportive environments.
Therapeutic Approach:
My therapeutic approach integrates comprehensive assessment, individualized treatment planning, and interprofessional collaboration to address each child’s unique profile. I specialize in working with children from 1.5 years onwards presenting with autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, articulation and phonological disorders, fluency disorders, receptive and expressive language delays, cognitive-communication difficulties, and school-based learning difficulties, and promoting inclusive environments that nurture their overall development.
I incorporate evidence-based methods such as Oral Placement Therapy, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), PROMPT techniques and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Therapy plans are data-driven, goal-oriented, and designed to promote functional communication, academic participation, and social engagement. Parent and caregiver training is a cornerstone of my practice—I empower families with strategies to integrate communication goals into everyday routines and environments.
Client Experience:
Families can expect a collaborative, structured, and nurturing environment that fosters active participation and measurable outcomes. Therapy sessions are tailored to enhance children’s communication, independence, and self-confidence.
I work closely with teachers, school teams, and multidisciplinary professionals to ensure consistent support across home, school, and community settings, while regularly monitoring progress and adapting intervention plans to achieve optimal results.
Personal Interests:
Outside of my clinical practice, I am deeply engaged in professional development, staying current with global trends and innovations in speech-language therapy.
I also value personal wellness and mindfulness, and I enjoy outdoor activities and continuous learning — these keep me balanced, inspired, and better equipped to support the children and families I work with.
