About me

Hi! I'm Ashley, a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP). I decided I wanted to be an SLP as a senior in high school. Around the time I was trying to make career and college decisions, three important people in my life started seeing a speech therapist. My family friend with Down syndrome was telling me how much she loved her new speech therapist, my cousin who was born with a cleft palate was seeing a speech therapist regularly, and my grandma was diagnosed with Parkinson's and enrolled in voice therapy. This was when I discovered how one profession can make a difference across the lifespan, and I have enjoyed every step of the way since. I am so grateful to be able to help people of all ages regain their independence, communication, and quality of life! I have worked in settings such as an inpatient rehabilitation hospital, home health, and schools via telehealth. I have completed training in the Lingraphica Certification Program, allowing me to provide adults with aphasia the resources to learn and obtain their own personal high-tech AAC device. I have taught stroke education and aphasia support group courses, providing people in the community with resources and support to improve their independence and quality of life. I am trained in MBSS and FEES swallow studies. I have also supervised others to learn and perform FEES. I would describe my clinical style as client-centered, functional, individualized/personalized, family-centric, and rooted in client empowerment to create self-advocates.
