Bio
As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I have enjoyed working with clients of all ages in the Lower Mainland area for the past 18 years. I have focused on services for pediatric clients for the past 10 years. I have special training in childhood language development, speech sound production, augmentative/ alternative communication, feeding and eating skills as well as positive behavior supports for children with special needs. I have a family-centered approach to my work and believe that parents/caregivers play the most important role in their child's overall learning and development. My therapy sessions are play-based and emphasize fun in learning. Family or caregiver goals and the corresponding developmental skills are key to my services. It has been both a joy and a journey working with clients who have communication needs over the past nearly two decades.
