Speech, Language, Voice and Dysphagia Specialist
Speech, Language, Voice and Dysphagia Specialist
I have over 23 years experience as a certified speech-language pathologist evaluating and treating patients with varying and sometimes complex diagnoses in hospitals, physician practices, schools, and private practice. A few diagnoses include stroke (CVA), head and neck cancer, and developmental speech and language delay. I provide various services for students as well, focusing on executive functioning, organization and self-regulation skills benefiting personal interactions, academic, and test-taking performance. I attended the Florida State University where I earned a Master of Science degree in Audiology and Speech Pathology within the top 5% of my graduating class in 1997. I was elected into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi by the Florida State University chapter. Some of the coursework included two brain and spinal cord dissection courses, expanding my intricate knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the disorders I evaluate and treat and how they frequently interrelate. I hold the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) and state of Florida licensure.
I experienced treatment by a speech-language pathologist as a young child for a minor articulation error due to missing dentition. As simple as that may sound, I still recall practicing her instruction of the production "ch" and "sh" to my grandmother's patient head nod as I improved. The experience had a memorable impact on my development, confidence, and overall growth in this dynamic field.
I understand the range of obstacles many of my patients and students endure through my personal life experience and experiences of my family and friends. I offer evaluations and individual treatment plans based on a "whole person" and family-centered approach.
