Empowering Communication, One Child at a Time

Supporting children through personalized speech and language therapy in the South Bay area.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here!

My passion is helping children build meaningful communication skills in ways that honor their strengths and support the whole child. Whether we’re working on early language, AAC, motor-based speech, or myofunctional goals, my mission is always to meet each child exactly where they are—and help them grow with confidence.

I bring years of experience in both clinical and private settings, with a strong emphasis on parent coaching and caregiver collaboration. I truly believe that therapy works best when families feel empowered, involved, and supported every step of the way.

As a lifelong learner, I’m committed to deepening my knowledge and refining my practice through ongoing training, certifications, and research. Staying current in the ever-evolving field of speech-language pathology allows me to offer the most effective and compassionate care possible to every child and family I serve.

Early Intervention & Play-Based Therapy

Parent-coaching centered care designed to support toddlers and preschoolers in finding joy and confidence through meaningful, everyday interactions. Therapy is child-led, engaging, and rooted in connection.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech

Motor-based therapy approaches that support the brain-body connection and help children improve the precision and consistency of speech movements. Therapy is individualized, with a focus on trust and success.

AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication)

Comprehensive evaluations and feature-matching of AAC tools to support nonspeaking or minimally speaking children. I work closely with families to ensure AAC is both functional and empowering across all environments.

Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) support

Therapy grounded in the Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) framework to support gestalt language learners in moving toward self-generated language. Sessions include partner coaching and affirming strategies for natural progression

Oral Myofunctional Therapy

Assessment and treatment of oral myofunctional disorders such as tongue thrust, open mouth posture, and other related concerns. Emphasis on collaboration with cross-disciplinary professionals (e.g., dentists, ENTs, orthodontists) to ensure holistic support.

Sensory-informed and neurodiversity-affirming care

Therapy that respects and supports each child’s unique neurological profile. My approach is grounded in the belief that behavior is communication, and every child thrives when they feel safe, regulated, and understood.

I’ve completed advanced coursework, including the USC Sensory Integration Continuing Education Program, to deepen my understanding of how sensory and neurophysiological differences influence communication and participation. I use this lens to tailor supports for autistic children and others with sensory processing differences—creating therapy experiences that are respectful, responsive, and empowering
