About

Expert feeding therapist for infants and children—from NICU to picky eating and beyond.

I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with over 18 years of experience specializing in pediatric feeding and swallowing therapy & complex developmental delay. I help infants and children who are struggling with feeding—whether that includes difficulty with breastfeeding or bottle feeding, challenges transitioning to solids, picky eating, or more complex medical needs.

I have extensive experience supporting:

Premature infants and NICU graduates (including suck–swallow–breathe coordination)
Breastfeeding and bottle-feeding difficulties
Pediatric dysphagia (swallowing disorders)
G-tube feeding and transition to oral feeding
Failure to thrive
Sensory-based feeding challenges and “picky eating,” including children with ASD

I am also VitalStim certified and use evidence-based techniques tailored to each child’s individual needs.

My Approach to Feeding Therapy
Feeding challenges are rarely “just picky eating.” I take a whole-child approach, considering medical history, oral motor skills, sensory processing, and the child’s environment. My therapy focuses on both safety and creating positive, low-pressure experiences with food.

I use a supportive, child-led approach to:

Reduce stress and pressure around mealtimes
Build positive relationships with food
Improve oral motor and swallowing skills
Help families feel confident and supported

What Families Can Expect
Families often come to me feeling overwhelmed or unsure of what to do next. My goal is to provide clear answers, practical strategies, and ongoing support so you feel confident helping your child outside of therapy sessions.

Therapy is collaborative, realistic, and designed to fit into your everyday routines—not add more stress.
