A the youngest of four children. I grew up and was raised in a bilingual home and through the years have completely embraced and completely lived the two cultures of Mexican and American decent to the fullest. I enjoy spending my time with my husband, children as well as my immediate and extended family. We all love the outdoors as that is how we typically spend our time together! What I love most about my job is having the opportunity to interact, work with and establish professional relationships with my clients and their families to support their communication skills. It is so important to me to get to know them and build a relationship with them to feel connected, comfortable, and confident in working with them as they are allowing me to work with their child to increase the vital life skill of communication.

"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." I've always loved that quote partly because it sums up my career so well. I have worked in early intervention, at outpatient children's clinics, as a clinical educator/assistant professor, as an online school-based SLP and currently PRN in acute/rehabilitative care settings. I enjoy the areas of feeding, speech & language. I always strive to ensure I create an affirming environment where people of any age feel safe to be themselves. In my sessions all identities, languages, cultures, forms of communication, bodily autonomy and interests are honored. Play yields progress and is always child-led. Therapy is about connection and never about compliance. In my free time I enjoy traveling, cooking new recipes, live music and more recently have been learning to throw pottery on the wheel. However, my free time is best spent alongside my partner, Adam, and our three cute pups.

As humans, the ability to express and understand the world around us is such an important aspect of life that we can often take for granted. It's truly humbling and a blessing to be able to connect with and assist my clients and families in developing these skills to help them reach their communication goals and gain the ability to communicate and understand one another whether through verbal or non-verbal communication. Their victories are my victories too, no matter how big or small.”
