I am a Speech-Language Pathologist with a Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of British Columbia. I have experience supporting children and families across clinic, school, and community settings, and I am passionate about working with preschoolers through teenagers. My practice is rooted in the DIRFloortime® approach and a relationship-based, neurodiversity-affirming philosophy that values connection, co-regulation, child-led engagement, and authentic, self-directed communication. I specialize in supporting children with articulation and phonological speech sound difficulties, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and functional communication skills, including expressive language and self-advocacy. My approach is child-led and family-centered, recognizing the important role families play in fostering meaningful communication and participation in everyday life.
