I received a Master of Arts from Temple University in 1999 in Communication Disorders with a speciality in early intervention. With a love for the "little ones", I developed a keen understanding of the importance of early intervention as a foundation for a lifetime of skill development. This led me to specialize in working with children with complex needs and co-occurring disorders.
I have spent my career using clinical evidence using a holistic and eclectic approach to support the whole child in brain, body, social & emotional growth.
I work closely with caregivers & family to bridge the gaps in communication between clinic, home and community.
I am trilingual in Spanish, English, French with 24 years of international experience with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Childhood Apraxia of Speech, Fragile X, Pompe Disease, Sensory Processing Disorders, Glass Syndrome, Cochlear Implants, Down Syndrome, ADHD, Dyslexia, Learning Disabilities, Auditory Processing Disorders, myofunctional disorders.
I have advanced training in Sensory Integration and Praxis and incorporate SI principles in therapy. I am an ASHA Ace Award recipient and continue to pursue advanced continuing education.
In my spare time I enjoy horseback riding, traveling, paddleboarding, kayaking, road biking & yoga.
