About me

Hi! I'm Chelsea, a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP). I first found an interest in this field around the age of 14 years. I was with my mom at work, where she was the Director of Special and Alternative Education, and this hilarious group of women were sitting in a room across from her discussing books and planning a new reading program for the elementary classes. I kept looking to see what it was all about because I loved to read. So they invited me in and asked me to help them out. It turned out they were a group of SLPs, physical therapists, and occupational therapists, all creating a functional program to work together with the special education classes. I was hooked and began to work as a teaching assistant in the classrooms. The SLP there took me under her wing, and that was when I decided this is what I wanted to do. From there, I fell in love with other areas of the profession! I have worked in settings such as early intervention, special education preschool, and virtual home health. I have been LSVT certified to work with adults with voice disorders due to Parkinson's disease. I love learning new techniques to help my clients. I would describe my clinical style as holistic, client-centered, functional, individualized/personalized, family-centric, and rooted in client empowerment to create self-advocates.
