My background

Helping kids be understood

I earned my Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Central Missouri and hold my Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.

I’ve worked with children ages 3 and up, with a special focus on speech sounds: kids who are hard to understand, swap one sound for another, or struggle to say certain sounds clearly. I love finding creative, play-based ways to make practice feel like fun.

A new service, the same experience

During the school year I work as a school-based speech-language pathologist, helping kids with speech sounds every week. Sound Groups are a new way to bring that experience to more families, in a format that’s affordable, playful, and easy to start.

Why Sound Groups

Getting help shouldn’t be hard

I’ve seen so many families struggle to get speech help for their child: complicated intake processes, confusing referrals, and costs that feel out of reach. I knew there had to be a better way.

Sound Groups are my answer. Small group sessions that are affordable, easy to start, and genuinely fun for kids. No complicated paperwork and no insurance headaches, just good speech therapy your family can count on.

How I work with kids

  • Play-based

    Therapy should feel like fun, not work. I use games, stories, and movement to build speech skills naturally.

  • Peer-powered

    Kids learn best alongside other kids. Small groups build confidence and make practice feel normal.

  • Family-centered

    I keep you in the loop with simple ideas you can use at home between sessions, so progress keeps going.
