Speech-Language Pathologist & Owner
She / Her / Hers
As a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and a mother of four young children, I find great joy supporting the development of communication. With each new word that a child learns it enables them to better connect with loved ones and understand the world around them. I also know how frustrating it can be for both a child and an adult when communication breakdowns occur. I feel privileged to have a front-row seat to watch my clients and children develop and explore their world. I would be honoured to be a part of your child’s communication journey.
​
I have always had a strong desire to work with and support children which led me to attend the University of Lethbridge to pursue a degree in Psychology. After graduating in 2010, I attended the University of Alberta and received my Masters in Speech-Language Pathology in 2012.
​
Since starting work as an SLP in 2012, my goal has been to support children on their communication journey so that they may thrive in all areas of their life. I am particularly drawn to working with children since I have seen the benefits of early intervention and want to give children the communication tools and skills necessary to have a fulfilling life. Before starting my private SLP practice I worked in a preschool and school-based setting supporting children with a variety of diagnosis including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down syndrome, Cerebral palsy, speech delays, and language delays. Through my private practice, I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to support children and their families on their communication journey in a new capacity.
