“It is our human nature to find meaning through a connection, and I believe that a life of making meaningful connections, is a life well spent. It is my passion, as a speech-language pathologist, to give others the tools they need to communicate and improve their quality of life. In efforts towards pursuing this passion further, I started Intown Speech Therapy, LLC. I believe it is important to incorporate evidence-based practice to meet the needs of each individual child.”
