Empowering patients through personalized, holistic care that prioritizes their unique goals and needs

As one of the few dually certified Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP) and Certified Lymphedema Therapists (CLT) in the nation, my passion lies in voice and swallowing care,  My extensive experience with adults across various healthcare settings has deepened my understanding of the profound impact that voice and eating difficulties can have on individuals.

​

Over the years, I have sought out and earned specialized training in voice and swallowing disorder management, encompassing  videostroboscopy, Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES), manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), manual therapy, tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), and pharyngoesophageal manometry (HRM). Committed to supporting my patients' goals, I stay current with the latest research and evidence-based practices, earning multiple ACE awards from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) for my dedication to continuing education.

​

I have presented on voice and swallowing topics to community groups, graduate students, and medical professionals, and have been published in the Ohio Speech-Language-Hearing Association (OSLHA) peer-reviewed journal, eHearsay. Additionally, I facilitate a head and neck cancer support group, Head HONCHOS (Helping Others Navigate Cancer Healing through Ongoing Support).

​

These experiences have shaped my holistic approach to therapy, allowing me to help each patient achieve their individual goals and enhance their quality of life.
