CERI Certified Structured Literacy Dyslexia Interventionist

In 2020, after over a decade as a pediatric speech-language pathologist, I paused to reexamine my professional path. What I discovered was both humbling and transformative: despite my graduate training, I had been misinformed about dyslexia. I was told it wasn't real. That was wrong.

Determined to find the truth, I began a journey of advanced education, research, and advocacy—fueled by a commitment to give families what I never had: clarity. Today, I help parents cut through outdated systems and confusing answers, offering practical solutions backed by science and delivered with discretion.

I’ve worked with visionary families across the U.S. who invest deeply in their children’s development—families who value transparency, accuracy, and long-term outcomes. My mission is simple: to make sure every child has access to the right tools, the right guidance, and the right plan from the start.

I’m proud of the path I’ve taken and grateful for the families who walk it with me.

If you're ready to build something better for your child, I’d be honored to support you.
