I am a nationally-certified Speech-Language Pathologist with over 25 years of experience working with adults and children in schools, private practice, early intervention, hospitals, in-patient rehab and home-based programs. I graduated with a bachelor's and master's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders for Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Houston, where I received the Outstanding Graduation Clinician award.

My reason for founding Sunflower Speech Therapy was to provide speech and language therapy with a personalized approach. By serving a smaller number of clients, I can offer boutique level services thus getting to know each client's specific needs to create a tailored and individualized approach to foster lasting success.

For children, I believe in a community-based approach to therapy, with the most successful student's receiving support from the parents, caregivers and teachers. While I may be the expert on speech and language, you are the expert on your child. Partnering with a child’s community makes the most significant impact.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, Latin social dancing, and gardening. I also have graphic arts degree, a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I am the mother of an adult daughter with Autism.
