I bring deep dedication to supporting communication growth through playfulness, curiosity, and connection. Using a relationship-centered and neurodiversity-affirming approach, I build communication skills by expanding upon what already brings a child joy. My unique approach combines direct services with caregiver coaching, thus supporting families in feeling confident with the knowledge and tools they need to embed communication strategies into their daily routines.

Outside of work, I can be seen belting showtunes, going for meandering walks with friends, and trying new recipes.

Clinical Background

Before starting Creative Connections, I developed my clinical skills in settings including private practice, private school, and home-based services. I began my career in a sensory integration clinic, where I was trained to integrate sensory-based approaches into speech and language therapy sessions to build communication skills while supporting sensory regulation.

I received my bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience and Biology from Brandeis University and went on to complete my master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from Boston University. I hold the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) and am licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Board of Registration for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. 

Certifications & Areas of Training

I'm passionate about expanding my knowledge both within specific areas of speech and language, but also at the intersection of communication, sensory processing, and trauma/attachment. I have completed training in areas including:

• Gestalt Language Processing (Marge Blanc's Natural Language Acquisition Levels 1 and 2, Meaningful Speech Course)

• Hanen Centre Workshop Certifications (It Takes Two to Talk, More Than Words)

• Executive Functioning 

• Trauma and Attachment

• Sensory Integration
