About me

Hi! I'm Anna, a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP). Growing up, I was a very shy child—and like many of the students I now work with, I received speech therapy at a young age. My own speech therapist made a lasting impact on me, not just by helping me communicate more clearly, but by giving me some more confidence. That experience stayed with me and ultimately inspired me to help others the same way. As I got older, I knew I wanted to work with children. After shadowing several speech-language pathologists, I found so much joy in seeing how small steps in therapy could lead to big wins for kids and their families. Becoming an SLP has allowed me to combine my personal journey with my passion for helping children find their voice—and use it with confidence. I hold a Deaf/Hard of Hearing Certificate and am CHAMPS-trained in behavior support strategies. I completed clinical training with an SLP specializing in AAC, gaining hands-on experience with various communication systems. I'm also trained in SPEAK OUT!® and LOUD Crowd® for individuals with Parkinson’s. I have worked in both schools and teletherapy. I would describe my clinical style as individualized/personalized, family-centric, sensory integrated, and rooted in client empowerment to create self-advocates.

Other interests

Outside of speech-language pathology, I love spending time with my dog and being outdoors. I enjoy going to the beach, boating, hiking, and I really value a good cup of coffee to start the day! I currently work an additional job as a dog trainer.
