About Lauren

I have over ten years of professional experiences in school, clinic and home settings. I have enjoyed evaluating and treating children and young adults, ages 2 to 18, with a broad range of communicative disorders. I believe in meeting clients where they are and building upon existing strengths and interests. My goal is to help clients achieve communicative success through individualized, yet evidence-based, treatment and close collaboration with their families.
