Meet Our Clinicians

Our staff provides exceptional Speech Therapy, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Orofacial Myology services in the greater St. Cloud, MN area.

  • Speech and feeding related disorders are personal to me. I know first-hand the positive changes to quality of life my services offer. From my own childhood history as an extremely picky eater with food sensitivities, my parenting experience with a child with speech delays, and the process of navigating care for children with tongue and lip ties, I truly understand these challenges from a personal and professional standpoint.

FOUNDER | MA, CCC-SLP,OTA/L, OMT

As a clinician and a mom, I have a passion for helping families with their speech, feeding, and orofacial myology needs.

  • I am very passionate about family-centered therapy, as I believe that collaboration with families is essential in achieving the best outcomes for each child. Combining expertise in language development and communication disorders with a neuro-affirming mindset, I aim to create a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where every child's unique characteristics are embraced and celebrated. Using a child-led approach, I ensure therapy is not only effective but also engaging, empowering children to take the lead in their progress. With a deep commitment to promoting positive and lasting changes to thrive both at home and in their community, I am dedicated to supporting your child's growth in ways that honor their individual strengths and needs. 

    In May of 2024, I graduated from Minnesota State University, Mankato and am currently licensed through the Minnesota Department of Health. As a member of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, I am committed to staying informed about the latest therapeutic methods and practices by regularly attending continuing education classes. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy yoga, concerts, reading, being on the lake, traveling, and spending time with my friends and family.

SLP - CLINIC FELLOW

I prioritize a holistic approach to therapy, focusing on a child-led, family-centered, and neuro-affirming philosophy to provide compassionate and personalized care for your child.
