About
I am a licensed Speech Language Pathologist in California and New Jersey, currently working in both school and clinic settings and providing teletherapy as well as in person services. I earned my Master of Science from Teachers College, Columbia University and my Bachelor of Science from New York University with minors in American Sign Language and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies. As a neurodivergent clinician, I bring personal insight to neurodiversity affirming care and use my ASL and mental health background to support a holistic, relationship centered approach. • I have over a decade of experience as a clinician, consultant, and contractor, including case management, IEP development, multidisciplinary collaboration, and private practice operations such as compliance, EMR management, insurance benefits, and letters of medical necessity. My specialties include Childhood Apraxia of Speech, pediatric feeding and orofacial myofunctional disorders, picky eating, autism, speech sound disorders, social pragmatic language disorders, early intervention, and receptive and expressive language disorders. I am PROMPT trained and listed in the Apraxia Kids SLP directory. I co-developed FAYE, an AI powered chatbot that delivers evidence based feeding strategies and translates clinical expertise into accessible digital tools.
