Hi! I’m Emily. I became a speech pathologist to make a difference in the lives of others. Speaking and eating are inherently part of who we are as individuals and each and every person deserves that right.

My clinical experience spans educational and medical settings, including schools, private practice, home health, and hospitals.

My therapy approach is client-centered, strengths-based, family-centric, routines-based, and highly individualized.
