About
Hi, my name is Catherine! I’m an experienced bilingual speech language pathologist with a masters of science degree in communicative disorders. I’m licensed in California and certified with the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. I'm owner of E-Speech Cafe, an online bilingual speech therapy clinic for children and adults. I have extensive experience working with clients in Spanish and English. I’m passionate about providing holistic care that is culturally responsive and specifically tailored to the unique needs of my clients and their families. As a practicing artist and musician, I enjoy incorporating the arts into therapy interventions as multimodal learning activities for all ages.
