M.S., CCC-SLP, Reg. CASLPO, Speech-Language Pathologist
I lead a team of collaborative professionals and truly enjoy my work with children, youth, and their families. Our team is passionate, mission-driven, and committed to continued learning and growth.
I hold a master’s in Speech-Language Pathology with over 10 years’ experience supporting clients with language delays, motor speech concerns, stuttering, social language difficulties, and empowering families. I also have a special interest in literacy and working with clients across the lifespan helping them to read and write. I am committed to providing evidence-based, relevant treatment.
As a mom of two wonderful girls, my passion for this work continues to grow as I live and breathe the values of Elemenoe in my daily life. When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with my girls hiking, swimming, or cuddled up reading a book!

I am passionate about providing evidence-informed therapy services that result in meaningful changes for children and their family.I have a special interest in early intervention and developing school readiness skills. I believe that interdisciplinary collaboration should be one of the founding principles in any intervention plan, which has led to the creation of Elemenoe.

My areas of interest include augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), articulation, behaviour management and literacy.I am a multidisciplinary clinician with many years of experience working as both a Communicative Disorders Assistant and a Registered Behaviour Technician, and I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise from both disciplines with me to all of my sessions.

My professional background includes a Master's degree in developmental psychology, and I have had the opportunity to work with children of different ages and socio-economic backgrounds. Throughout my experience, I have gained an understanding of the unique challenges that each child faces, and how to provide support that is tailored to their needs.
In addition, I am passionate about collaborating with families and other professionals to provide comprehensive care for clients.
