About me

Hi! I’m Olivia. I have found that relating to one another is a beautiful experience and a natural human right; it plays a large role in happiness and connectivity in this life. It is important for people to share their thoughts and feel good about who they are. SLPs demonstrate a variety of ways to achieve this. Becoming a therapist has been a wonderful and direct way to help others share life with one another, through connecting and learning together. I have completed extensive professional development in pediatric and school-based speech-language pathology, with specialized focus on: Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and functional communication strategies, evidence-based classroom practices to support language, literacy, and collaborative learning, assessment and intervention for culturally and linguistically diverse students (including African American English and translanguaging practices), play-based language development and supporting children with unique language processing profiles, and ethical and effective school-based service delivery (from referral through dismissal). I have experience working in the school-based setting, supporting children with a range of communication needs. I approach therapy with a functional style and prioritize strengths-based strategies and client empowerment to help each person build confidence, independence, and lifelong self-advocacy skills.
