Experience and Philosophy
Since graduating with my Masters in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Alberta in 2008, I have worked with preschool, kindergarten, and school-age children in a number of settings, including Early Education, inclusive preschool and kindergarten classrooms, and one-on-one or group therapy. I have experience with functional and standardized assessments for speech and language skills. I have worked with children with a range of speech, language, and communication needs.
I am passionate about giving kids' communication partners (parents, teachers, siblings) tools to make interactions positive and successful, and I believe the best learning happens in the midst of everyday life. That means that much of the "speech work" happens during play! I never want clients to feel like speech/language homework is one more thing they need to add to busy lives. Rather, I work with families to build speech and language practice into things they do anyway: daily routines like having a snack or doing laundry, play time, walks to the park, or reading books together.
As a musician, I have studied piano, voice, and oboe, and completed a Bachelor of Music degree in oboe performance at McGill University. I’ve worked as a freelance oboist and oboe teacher, and have sung in a number of choirs, including Òran in Edmonton. I am thrilled to be able to offer Music Together Within Therapy. I believe music is a powerful tool to support speech, language, and communication skills. I also know that music, like communication, has a beautiful way of building connections and bringing people together.
