I am licensed in New York State, hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from the American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA), and a Teacher of the Speech and Hearing Handicapped Certificate (TSHH). I received my B.A. in Theater from Connecticut College, studied at The Royal Academy of Music (London, U.K.,) The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (London, U.K.,) completed a graduate degree program at The Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Arts (London, U.K.) and earned a B.A. and M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology from Lehman College (CUNY). I am trained in the Orton Gillingham and Wilson reading programs.

For children, I provide therapy for language disorders, apraxia, oral motor disorders (phonological/articulatory disorders), auditory processing disorders, voice disorders, stuttering, dyslexia, pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) and attention deficit disorders (ADD.)

For adults, I provide therapy for stuttering, accent modification, and voice disorders.

My approach to speech therapy is to incorporate both my theater and music background alongside my Speech-Pathology training to create an environment that is lively and fun as well as grounded in professional rigor and evidence based practice. I love my profession and take great pride and joy in providing the best techniques available to bring improved communication skills to the clients that I treat. I constantly seek knowledge and stay on the cutting edge of my profession by attending seminars and workshops throughout the region to stay abreast of the latest research and advances in speech and language therapeutic techniques. I am committed to each child/patient’s success, and partner with family members – parents, caregivers, and adult children – to achieve the best possible outcome.
