About

Let's explore, create, and play together!

I grew up in Salmon, Idaho, where the surrounding mountains and rivers nurtured my love for the outdoors. From rafting and hiking to camping and sports, those early experiences shaped both my personal passions and my professional approach. I hold a Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology, a Minor in Sign Language Studies, and a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. My work spans private practice, skilled nursing, and schools, with a focus on helping clients discover their unique voice and communication style. I believe in a holistic, strengths-based approach that empowers children to grow, build resilience, and embrace their authentic selves. Play, sensory-rich activities, and time outdoors are central to the therapy I provide. Beyond my practice, I continue to enjoy rafting, camping, hiking, cross-country skiing, and fly fishing with my family. ​Land Acknowledgement: We also acknowledge that our work takes place on the ancestral homeland of the Salish people in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley. The Salish were forcibly removed from this land and later joined with the Kootenai and Pend d’Oreilles peoples to form the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT). We are committed to honoring this history and fostering respect and connection with First Nations communities.
