I am trilingual Speech-Language Pathologist certified by ASHA (American Speech Language Hearing Association) and licensed in the state of California. I have worked with individuals across the vast spectrum of the life span, as young as 3 through an active 103. Having had the privilege of serving patients at Stanford Health Care, El Camino Health, Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, as well as students at Los Altos School District, I have delighted in merging creativity with evidence-based practice since 2006.

I am passionate about speech and communication. Whether starting out in life or reflecting on a life well-lived, communication gives us autonomy and independence. It’s not just about getting the right words out, accurately. It’s about being understood, received, and heard.

After graduating from NYU, I worked as an actress in New York City for 10 years prior to embarking in the world of Speech-Language Pathology here in the Bay Area. I enjoy spending time with my school-aged sons, playing tennis, and sweating it out in hot yoga.
