ABOUT ME

I grew up in Winnipeg and always felt the need to help others. This led me to pursue Speech-Language Pathology. I completed my Masters degree in Minnesota in 2006 and then moved to Edmonton to build my career, focusing on stuttering and effective communication. Personally, I find it so rewarding to be a part of life-changing transformations. For over 15 years, my clients have overcome obstacles, great and small, allowing them to participate in conversations with ease and clarity. I love witnessing new-found confidence that comes with tackling these challenges.

​

I am happy to work from my beautiful home office in the Brander Gardens neighbourhood in Edmonton (just north of Riverbend). Assessments and therapy can either be completed in-person at my office or online from the comfort of your own home, allowing for flexibility.

​

I have extensive training and experience with a variety of therapy techniques including:

• Lidcombe Program

• Palin Parent-Child Interaction (PCI) therapy

• Comprehensive Stuttering Program (CSP)

• Camperdown Program  

• Treatment of Word-Final Repetitions (i.e., Atypical Disfluencies)

• Treatment of Cluttering

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address feelings/emotions about stuttering

• Accent on Canadian English (ACE) Accent Modification

• Treatment of Effective Communication / Public Speaking

​​

I am frequently asked to deliver presentations and workshops to train other SLPs in preschool and school-aged stuttering treatment, specifically on the Lidcombe Program, in western Canada and the US. I have also presented research at the Oxford Dysfluency Conference in the UK. Mentoring SLPs has been a significant part of my career as I have a wealth of information to share from my experiences over the years.

​

When I’m not helping my clients, I keep very busy with my two active children. I enjoy family game nights, curling, golfing, and I hope for the best while attempting brand new recipes!
