I am a speech language pathologist (SLP) specializing in providing diagnostic services for patients with developmental disabilities, with a particular focus on autism. I also contribute to multidisciplinary assessments along with psychologists and physicians. In addition, I supervise graduate-level SLP students completing practicum experiences focused on evaluating and treating children with developmental disabilities.
I enjoy working with children and helping them learn new skills, become better communicators and reach their full potential. I enjoy meeting new families daily and working with them to meet their children’s communication needs. All children have the potential to reach their goals. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to help children learn to talk about their needs and desires.
I have worked in the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics (DDBP) at Cincinnati Children’s for over 22 years. I grew up in Cincinnati, where my husband and I raised our children. I enjoy cooking, gardening, traveling, hiking and spending time with my family and our pets.
