Throughout my career (over 20 years of experience), I have primarily worked for local central Indiana school districts and spent three years working for a private practice.  My primary focus has been on helping children ages 3-6. However, I also enjoy working with elementary aged students.  For the last three years, I have practiced as a speech-language pathologist and collaborated with school-base preschool programs to assist teachers with difficult behaviors, varying classroom needs, and integrating therapy into their curriculum.  I have also co-taught in an intensive speech/language therapy classroom utilizing narrative story retelling and vocabulary development while treating varying speech sound disorders and providing language interventions.

During therapy, I want to connect to each child and incorporate activities that engage, teach, and grow confidence in their unique areas of need. I strive to communicate with families simple activities that they can complete (if they choose) to help their child improve their success in an array of environments. I look forward to meeting you and working to support your child so they can reach their full communicative potential.

Outside of work, I enjoy:  spending time with my young adult children, traveling, walking my dog, having dinner with friends, and volunteering with Fueled for School.
