Hi, I'm Andrea!
I'm a certified Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) with a Bachelor's degree in Communication Disorders and Early Childhood Development. I love helping kids build confidence, independence, and resilience through play, movement, and meaningful connection. I believe some of the richest learning happens when children are curious, exploring the world around them, and sharing those experiences with the people in their lives.
I especially enjoy working with gestalt language processors, AAC users, and children with speech and language delays. My sessions are child-led and built around each child's strengths and interests. Whether we're building an obstacle course, pretending we're on an adventure, or getting messy with a sensory activity, I believe growth happens when children are supported through challenges—not protected from them. My goal is to make therapy fun while helping children become confident communicators, and to give families simple strategies they can use long after the session ends.
"Connection builds trust. Trust builds resilience."
I believe growth happens when children are supported through challenges — not protected from them. Whether we're building an obstacle course, on a pretend adventure, or getting messy with a sensory activity, the connection comes first. The communication follows.
