Hi! I am speech-language pathologist, and I have worked at Flourish Integrated Therapy since 2016. I obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology from Miami University of Ohio in 2011 and earned my Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology at Bowling Green State University in 2013. I hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, Ohio licensure in Speech-Language Pathology and a Pupil Services License from the Ohio Department of Education. My career began in a large public school district, and from there I made my way to the private practice setting. My clinical interests include speech sound disorders, pediatric feeding, and augmentative and alternative communication, for which I have obtained specialized training.

My passion for speech-language therapy grows every time I get to celebrate progress with a client and their family, whether that progress occurred in the therapy environment or at home. I enjoy developing treatment plans that are rooted in evidence-based practice and have a family centered approach, in which families are considered an essential part of treatment plan development and therapy. Being a part of the wonderful team of therapists at Flourish Integrated Therapy allows me to collaborate with other disciplines, which I have found is key in tailoring the most effective, holistic treatment approach for each unique individual. I strive to provide a patient, compassionate, and fun learning environment so that clients enjoy the time they spend developing their communication skills.
