About Me

As a Speech Pathologist, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals improve their communication skills. From a young age, I have been driven by my passion to assist others and my love for the sciences led me to choose a career in Speech Pathology.

 

After completing my undergraduate degree, I went on to pursue a master's degree in the field and gained valuable experience working in various settings such as schools, hospitals, and private practices. I eventually established my own private practice in Tom's River, where I have been helping individuals of all ages improve their communication skills and reach their full potential.

 

My specialized focus on social skills development has helped many children, youth and young adults to become more confident and expressive in their interactions and relationships. With my background, experience and the use of evidence-based methods in my practice, I am dedicated to helping individuals achieve their full potential in communication.
