I became a speech-language pathologist because the field combined my love for words and language with my passion for helping people. I quickly learned that the field goes far beyond just words. I have become passionate about helping adults regain their language and cognitive skills following a stroke or traumatic brain injury. I practice patient-centered care, keeping therapy sessions as functional and practical as possible. I use evidence-based practices alongside personally meaningful tasks to help patients work on goals that matter to them. My areas of interest include: aphasia, apraxia of speech, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), cognitive-communication deficits related to stroke. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, hanging out with my family, doing jigsaw puzzles and playing with my cats.

UNC Health contracts with most health insurance companies including, but not limited to, the ones listed here. While we do our best to keep this list up-to-date, it often changes. Professional fees charged by care providers and organizations who are not employed, owned or managed by UNC Health may not be included under the same insurance contracts and may bill separately. Before scheduling your appointment, please contact the organization or care provider in charge of delivering these services as they may be able to help you identify who will be providing these services. Your insurance company can help to determine which specific services, locations and providers are covered by your plan as well as provide you with information regarding co-payments, deductibles or any additional charges that may be your responsibility. UNC Health makes no representation or guarantee of benefits or coverage. Services not covered by your insurance company will be your responsibility.
