About Me and Sprout Speech Therapy

After obtaining my Master's degree from the University of Kansas in 2021, I returned to the Twin Cities where I began my career working in an outpatient clinic setting, providing services for children ages 2-12; it was at this clinic where I developed my clinical expertise and passion for client- and family-centered care. Within this setting, I gained experience providing speech and language therapy in outpatient and autism day treatment settings. I have experience partnering with mental health practitioners, occupational therapists, early childhood educators, case managers, caregivers, and parents. I have specialized and advanced training in childhood apraxia of speech as well as holding a level II certification in Greenspan Floortime. My additional areas of clinical interest include early language acquisition, autism and gestalt language processing, articulation, and play skills. I hold the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) in speech and language pathology and am a member of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). I also hold licensure through the Minnesota Department of Health. Education: University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 2019-2021 Master of Arts, Speech-Language Pathology University of Minnesota Duluth, Duluth, MN 2015-2019 Bachelor of Applied Science, Communication Sciences & Disorders Deaf Studies Minor 🌱 At Sprout Speech Therapy LLC, I believe therapy is grounded in the belief that communication grows best within relationships. 🌿 I encourage a strong partnership between myself and my client's caregivers so you feel empowered to support your child’s communication during everyday routines and interactions. 🪴 Therapy sessions incorporate play-based and evidence-informed approaches that meet children where they are developmentally, while simultaneously helping them branch toward new communication goals. 💬 Sprout Speech Therapy values collaboration, neurodiversity-affirming care, and empowering families to support communication development in natural environments. 🏡 Services are provided in-home or via telehealth to support skill development in the setting where your child feels most comfortable. Services may also be provided at daycare or preschool with facility consent.
