About me

Hi! I'm Carissa. I became a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) in 2024.I became an SLP to empower people to independently and effectively communicate, improving their connections with others. I have worked in settings such as hospital and clinic. I have partnered with colleagues to present a video training regarding implementation of augmentative and alternative communication to the Emergency Department setting in order to improve patient satisfaction and promote effective care. I would describe my clinical style as holistic, client-centered, functional, individualized/personalized, family-centric, and rooted in client empowerment to create self-advocates.
