About me

Hi! I’m Leslie. When I was in college, I majored in linguistics and conducted research in language documentation. My love for language led me to want to help others reach their communication goals. My clinical experience spans diverse settings, including private practice, home health, and schools. I also completed certification in the Dissection of the Voice and Swallowing Mechanism Lab at Northwestern University, deepening my understanding of the anatomy and physiology underlying voice and swallowing function. I approach therapy with a holistic, functional, and highly individualized style. I prioritize family involvement and client empowerment, helping each person build confidence, independence, and lifelong self-advocacy skills.
