Biography

I went into the field of speech-language pathology because I am passionate about young children and enjoy their enthusiasm for learning. I have a heart to help others and believe in a family-centered approach to wellness.

I attended Elmhurst College for both undergraduate and graduate school. During my time at Elmhurst College, I had the opportunity to work within the public schools, the Special Education District of Lake County (SEDOL), and in a skilled nursing facility. During my time with SEDOL, I worked in Language and Social Skills Opportunities (LASSO) classrooms and at the John Powers Center, a school for the deaf and hard of hearing.

I came across The Therapy Tree a few months before completing my Master’s degree. The Therapy Tree’s philosophy on empowering families and holistic family-centered services attracted me to their practice. The ability to collaborate with other disciplines has allowed me to see the bigger picture of each child I treat. I am blessed to be a part of The Therapy Tree team and look forward to furthering my skill set in this field for years to come!

I enjoy spending time with my sweet husband and son, homemaking, hosting gatherings for friends and family, and crafting!
