Who Am I?

I am a speech-language pathologist with over 25 years of experience supporting non-speaking and unreliable-speaking individuals, including individuals with autism, Down syndrome, and complex medical needs. I believe that communication competence should never be judged by speech alone.

Through my training in The Spellers Method, I am honored to support individuals in learning to communicate through spelling and typing, and to coach families as they bring this powerful practice into everyday life. Using just 26 letters, individuals are given a meaningful way to share their thoughts, ideas, and personality.  

Equally important is supporting parents and communication partners so communication can generalize across environments—home, school, community, and beyond. I am thrilled to be part of a solution that empowers individuals with a reliable voice and supports families on this journey.
