Hi, I'm Sam!
I'm a Speech Therapist with 7 years of experience in feeding and myofunctional therapy. I’m passionate about providing evidence-based treatment and working collaboratively with families, dentists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure holistic care. Supporting patients with feeding difficulty and speech disorders across the lifespan is a big part of what I do. Helping my clients thrive is my greatest reward, it's a privilege to serve the community in this way.
Why I love what I do:
I love that every case is different, my days are never the same!
Why I’m passionate about in-home care:
I think there's something extra special about working on feeding skills in my patient's home... it's the BEST place to practice mealtime skills.
What does a Speech Therapist Do?
Speech-language pathologists (also known as speech therapists or SLPs) help kids communicate—whether they’re late to talk, hard to understand, or struggling to express themselves. They also support kids with feeding, swallowing, and social interaction. SLPs focus on:
- Speech sounds – helping kids say words clearly so others can understand them
- Language development – building vocabulary, following directions, and expressing ideas
- Social skills – learning how to have conversations, ask questions, advocate for their needs, and take turns
- Stuttering – supporting smoother, more confident speech
- Feeding and swallowing – helping with picky eating, chewing, swallowing challenges, and texture sensitivities
Speech therapy gives kids the tools to express themselves and connect with the people around them—at home, in school, and in the world.
