About me
Hi! I'm Vivian. I became a speech-language pathologist (SLP) to help others with a unique use of the arts and sciences! For me it's hard work disguised as fun, and that's the best. Communication makes the world better! I have worked in settings such as early intervention, home health (adults and pediatrics), elementary schools, high schools, post-grad vocational, and a preschool evaluation clinic. I am a bilingual provider. I carry additional certifications in the yoga world that support my therapy deliveries: two 200-hour yoga teacher trainings and 100-hour breath work training. I would describe my clinical style as holistic, functional, family-centric, routines-based, and rooted in client empowerment to create self-advocates.
