I am an American Speech and Hearing Association certified speech-language pathologist and the owner of Communicate Your Way Speech Therapy. I received my bachelors degree in Communicative Sciences and Disorders from West Chester University in 2016, and masters in Speech Language Pathology from La Salle University in 2019. I specialize in receptive and expressive language delays, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and gestalt language processing (communication through scripts/delayed echolalia). I have spent the last half of a decade working with neurodivergent preschool and school-aged children. Through every setting I have worked in, I have encountered the same disappointing commonality. Many neurodivergent children are seen as a problem that needs to be “fixed”. After observing these compliance-based therapies and programs, I decided that our children need and deserve another option. At Communicate Your Way Speech Therapy, I will celebrate your child’s strengths. Alongside you, I’ll be your child’s biggest supporter and fan. Using a child-led, play-based approach, we will spend our sessions laughing and having fun—and all while making progress! I can’t wait to support your child’s communication journey!

It hurts to see your child struggle to learn and communicate effectively. Your child is smart. Your child wants to do a good job and be successful. But you are starting to see signs of discouragement, and loss of the curiosity and enthusiasm for learning that was once there. You have worked hard to give your child the best opportunities. You want to help but you aren’t sure what to do. I support children with learning difficulties who are struggling with discouragement and a loss of interest in education. By giving them the tools they need to overcome challenges with language, literacy, and auditory processing weaknesses, I help children renew their excitement for learning and their confidence in themselves. At the same time, I empower parents by equipping them with strategies to support their children’s learning in the midst of their busy daily routines, leading to a more calm and connected home life.
