Articulation and Phonology
The development of sounds occurs throughout childhood and common errors are prevalent during this time. Speech sound disorders encompass difficulties with perception of sounds, motor speech disorders (apraxia of speech and dysarthria), and the phonological representation of sounds which impact intelligibility of speech.
Receptive, Expressive, and Pragmatic Language
We use language to communicate daily with the world around us. Receptive language is how we comprehend what we hear and read. Expressive language is how we use our language, including vocabulary and syntax. Pragmatic language is our social use of language, not only what we say, but also how we use language along with our gesures and expressions.

I am dedicated to providing the best service for your child. I believe in the quality of service and continue to develop my work as a speech-language pathologist by using evidence-based practice in therapy. I enjoy collaborating with other professionals to help my clients meet their optimal performance.
I am certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and licensed by the state of Hawaii and Connecticut. I received my Bachelor’s degree in 2004 and Master’s of Science degree from the University of Wyoming in Speech-Language Pathology in 2006. I worked with the birth-to-three population in their homes for nine years and currently work full time in the public schools. I work with all ages of children and have significant experience with the autism population.
I am also an in-home speech and language pathologist, servicing the Kona area, who accepts private pay. Please contact me via phone or email for availability and pricing.
