Professional Background & Qualifications

​

I am a CORU-registered and ASHA-certified Senior Speech and Language Therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting children and families. I completed both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Communication Sciences & Disorders, graduating summa cum laude from East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania.

​

I also hold the ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) — a credential that reflects advanced clinical training, a structured clinical fellowship, and ongoing professional development. Combined with my CORU registration, this dual qualification reflects my commitment to high international standards of care and continuous learning.

​

I spent many years in the United States working exclusively in early intervention, supporting toddlers and preschoolers through play-based, family-centred therapy. This focused experience shaped my strong belief that early relationships, responsive interactions, and everyday routines are the foundation of communication.

​

Trained in the United States and registered to practise in both Ireland and the U.S., I bring specialised experience across early intervention, school settings, and community-based support. My dual registration reflects my commitment to providing therapy that is respectful, collaborative, and child-led.

My Therapy Approach

​

My approach blends professional expertise with warmth, creativity, and a deep respect for each child’s communication style. Sessions are strengths-based and shaped by each child’s interests, preferences, and ways of engaging with the world.

​

Children communicate in many forms, and I welcome them all. Whether a child expresses themselves through speech, gestures, signs, pictures, or AAC, I focus on fostering meaningful connection, confidence, and communication that feels natural and authentic to them.

​

With a strong background in early intervention, I have extensive experience supporting toddlers and preschoolers as they build foundational communication skills through play, connection, and everyday routines.

I support children in:

​

• speech sound development

• early language and play-based communication

• social communication and interaction

• feeding and oral motor skills

• AAC use and multimodal communication

• foundational communication development for toddlers and preschoolers (early intervention)

​

I work closely with families so strategies can continue naturally at home, helping communication grow in everyday moments.

Supporting Families

​

I understand how challenging long waiting lists and limited one-to-one support can be. Through Aspect Speech Therapy, my goal is to offer timely, responsive care so children can access the support they need without unnecessary delays — and so families feel informed, reassured, and empowered throughout the process.

​​

​

Working in Ireland

​

Since relocating to Ireland with my family in 2023, I’ve continued my work through Aspect Speech Therapy and within a non-profit organisation supporting children with developmental and communication needs. This community-based work has strengthened my commitment to making therapy meaningful, accessible, and respectful for every child and family.

My Story

​

After more than a decade of supporting children and families across the United States and Ireland, I founded Aspect Speech Therapy to create a service where families feel truly heard and children are supported in ways that honour who they are.

​

I now live in South Dublin with my husband and two children, and I’m passionate about creating a warm, supportive space where children can explore communication at their own pace. I believe deeply in play, connection, and the joy that comes from feeling understood — values that guide every session.

​

Outside of work, I love exploring Ireland’s beaches and countryside with my family — moments that remind me of the importance of communication, connection, and play in everyday life.

​

​

If you feel my approach might be a good fit for your child, I’d be happy to chat.
There’s no pressure — just a warm conversation about what might support your family best.
