ABOUT ME
Before I was an infant feeding therapist, I was a NICU parent. I remember the ache of waiting for my babies to meet the milestones that would let us go home, and the grief of not being their primary caregiver in those early days. That experience changed how I see this work — it's not just clinical to me; it's personal.
My practice grew out of a passion for supporting babies coming home from the NICU and helping families navigate those first fragile feedings with confidence. Today, I support a broader range of infants and children, including those with feeding and swallowing difficulties, dysphagia, and early communication delays. Whatever brought you here, my goal is the same: helping your child eat safely, grow well, and thrive — and helping you feel like the confident, capable parent you already are.
Professional Background
I've been a Speech-Language Pathologist for 14 years, working across level III and IV NICUs, pediatric acute care, and outpatient clinics. My own experience as a NICU parent deepened my commitment to these families, leading me to pursue board certification as a neonatal therapist in March 2024.
Expertise gives me the tools, but it's the relationship — the trust, the care, the partnership — that makes this work meaningful. I want you to feel like you have a partner who truly understands what your family is going through, not just as a clinician, but as a parent.
