M.S., CCC-SLP, Reg. CASLPO, Speech-Language Pathologist
I lead a team of collaborative professionals and truly enjoy my work with children, youth, and their families. Our team is passionate, mission-driven, and committed to continued learning and growth.
I hold a master’s in Speech-Language Pathology with over 10 years’ experience supporting clients with language delays, motor speech concerns, stuttering, social language difficulties, and empowering families. I also have a special interest in literacy and working with clients across the lifespan helping them to read and write. I am committed to providing evidence-based, relevant treatment.
As a mom of two wonderful girls, my passion for this work continues to grow as I live and breathe the values of Elemenoe in my daily life. When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with my girls hiking, swimming, or cuddled up reading a book!

I am passionate about providing evidence-informed therapy services that result in meaningful changes for children and their family.I have a special interest in early intervention and developing school readiness skills. I believe that interdisciplinary collaboration should be one of the founding principles in any intervention plan, which has led to the creation of Elemenoe.

I am a Registered Behaviour Technician® with a bachelor's degree in Psychology. I am currently in the first year of my Master of Arts in Behaviour Analysis program. Each day I am excited to apply what I learn in school to my role as the lead therapist for Elemenoe, where I provide additional support to each clinical team.

My professional background includes a Master's degree in developmental psychology, and I have had the opportunity to work with children of different ages and socio-economic backgrounds. Throughout my experience, I have gained an understanding of the unique challenges that each child faces, and how to provide support that is tailored to their needs.
In addition, I am passionate about collaborating with families and other professionals to provide comprehensive care for clients. I believe that by working together, we can achieve better outcomes and improve the overall quality of life for individuals with developmental disabilities. I am committed to helping clients achieve their goals and reach their full potential, and I am always looking for ways to improve my skills and knowledge to provide the best possible care.
