North Shore Integrative SPOT

Hi, and welcome! I am a Speech Language Pathologist and founder of North Shore Integrative SPOT. I received my undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree in Communicative Disorders from the University of Florida and went on to complete a Master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology from the University of Central Florida. I received my training in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy through the International Association of Orofacial Myology (IAOM). I have extensive experience working in various medical, school, and clinical settings including a U.S. News and World Report Top 3 Rehabilitation Hospital and as a manager at an international intensive rehabilitation clinic. My clinical experience and drive is using evidence-based treatment approaches that are play-based, fun, and meaningful to the child. I am passionate about nourishing, promoting, and accelerating communication development while incorporating art, play, music, and mindfulness into sessions. I combine clinical and holistic approaches to provide an integrative and whole-child approach to treating a variety of disorders. My vast professional experience allows me to possess a unique skill set and knowledge to work with children in early intervention, articulation, expressive/receptive language disorders, genetic disorders, cerebral palsy, orofacial myofunctional disorders, feeding disorders, apraxia, among others. I am a local North Shore Mom of two babies who is passionate about health, wellness, and helping kids and families reach their ultimate potential!

Feeding FUNdamentals “Let’s Eat”: These sessions are designed for families starting out on the solid food journey with their infants. Starting solids with your infant can be overwhelming and scary. I am here to help by providing step-by-step guidance on where to start (therapist recommended feeding tools, types of foods, consistencies, and much more) in addition to teaching you strategies that will combat long-term picky eating. I want to help you have confidence in feeding your baby and make mealtimes something to look forward to! Let’s make feeding fun! Sessions can be provided in-home or via video at your convenience. Additional evening hours are available upon request. Most parents recommend 2-3 of these sessions to feel fully confident in their new skills! “Let’s Talk” Communication Consultation: Are you unsure if your child will benefit from speech therapy?
