Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (M.S., CCC-SLP)

Accepts 9 insurance plans

Hi! I’m Ingrid. Growing up, I watched a close friend with cerebral palsy navigate the daily challenges of communication. Seeing that firsthand inspired me to become a speech-language pathologist so I could dedicate my career to improving quality of life and making communication accessible for everyone.

My clinical background spans a variety of pediatric settings, where I support children with diverse speech, language, voice, and complex communication needs. My therapy approach is individualized, holistic, and routines-based. I partner closely with families to embed practical strategies into everyday routines, empowering clients to build confidence, express themselves, and self-advocate.

I am deeply committed to clinical excellence, evidence-based care, and continuous professional growth. My professional background includes teaching college-level phonetics as well as leading specialized caregiver training for pediatric feeding therapy. Additionally, I regularly pursue advanced continuing education in areas such as voice therapy and pediatric communication disorders.
