About Us

About ConnectSLP

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 value creativity, kindness and connections in my personal life. 

I am registered with the Alberta College of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology (ACSLPA) and Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Canada (SAC), and I strongly value lifelong learning. I am currently pursuing my doctoral studies with an emphasis on adult education and Indigenous ways of knowing. In addition to general work with articulation and language, I have gained specialized training in:

• Augmentative Communication (PODD, Boardmaker, Symbol Stix, iPad Apps and various speech-generating devices)

• Fluency (Lidcombe Fluency Program, Camperdown)

• Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FASD: Doing what works and other workshops)

• Late Talkers/Early language (Hanen, It Takes Two to Talk, Learn to Play)

• Autism (Gestalt language processing, SCERTS, Social Thinking programs, and various other workshops)

ConnectSLP values:

• Evidence-Based Practice

• Connection and relationships

• Creative practical solutions

• Working together with families

• Honest and transparent communication

I will work with you to improve communication by finding practical goals and ideas that work for your child, your family and the other professionals involved.
