About me

Hello! I'm Olivia. I became a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) in 2018. I have been interested in working with children from as early as I can remember. I grew up wanting to be an elementary school teacher but found speech-language pathology in my senior year of high school and immediately fell in love with the field. I love playing a role in empowering people to find their voice and walk alongside families to help their loved ones with communication and swallowing. I've worked in settings such as private practice (birth-5), pediatric outpatient hospital, and school. I completed a Certificate in Pediatric Dysphagia in August 2021, which focused on the assessment and treatment of children with feeding/swallowing disorders, especially young children. Much of my practice in my most recent position focused on supporting feeding/swallowing skills. I earned the ASHA ACE award twice in 2021. Earlier in 2023, I led an internal continuing education lecture on managing dysphagia in medically complex patients. During graduate school, I presented at ASHA regarding a single subject design study I completed with an adult in accent medication therapy. My clinical style is client-centered, functional, individualized/personalized, family-centric, routines-based, strengths-based and rooted in client-empowerment to create self-advocates.

Olivia was so excited about meeting us. She was understanding of my son’s desire to show her his favorite toy. Olivia was able to give him time to share and then put it aside, she displayed great adaptation to the situation. (My son) was able to stay connected through the whole session.
