Words.

Language is learned through relationships! Have fun together, read books and connect in as many ways as you can.

I graduated with my Master's Degree from Minot State University in 1997 and have held various positions as an SLP in Alberta and BC since that time.  My family and I moved to Medicine Hat in 2007 and love being on the prairies, even though we enjoy visiting the mountains too.  I love being a mom to my two teens, and value creativity, kindness and relationships in my personal life. 
​
I am registered with the Alberta College of Speech Language Pathology and Audiology (ACSLPA), as well as Speech-Pathology Audiology Canada (SAC), and have a strong value of life-long learning . In addition to general work with articulation and language, I have been able to gain specialized training in:

• Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FASD: Doing what works and other workshops)
• Late Talkers/Early language (Hanen, It Takes Two to Talk, Learn to Play)
