History

Established in 1991.

I graduated from UT-​Austin in 1986 and have been a licensed practicing SLP for 28 years. As the mother of 4 daughters ages 24 to 18, I have lots of experience communicating! I am the past director of the LA Scottish Rite Program for Childhood Language Disorders. After resigning to concentrate on raising my children, I have built my practice by word of mouth referrals in the Manhattan Beach community. I have been an independent contractor for American Martyrs school for the past 12 years, but also see children at my home. I love working with children and parents and helping them to be the best communicators they can be.
