I’m thrilled to share that I’m featured in the August 2025 MSHA Link, the official newsletter of the Missouri Speech-Language-Hearing Association! This piece spotlights my journey into private practice and why I formed the St. Charles Private Practice Network. A huge thank you to MSHA for allowing me to be the very first “My Story”.

Spent the morning training teachers on incorporating language strategies into the preschool classroom. I absolutely loved meeting these educators and look forward to providing private speech therapy services to their students.

Do you know of a school or daycare that needs continuing education hours for their teachers? I’m accepting a few more bookings for this fall!

Speech and Language can be difficult to understand especially if your child receives both services.

Wanna know how to tell the difference: Check out The Tale of Timmy and Ella✨

Timmy and Ella were best friends who loved creating new ideas! 🧠

One day, Ella had a brilliant idea to build a rocket 🚀 and couldn’t wait to tell Timmy. he said, “We’ll need paper, glue, and wings to make it fly!” Her words were clear and organized, showing how language works — it's about thinking in words and making ideas understood. 🌟

Timmy, excited but a little unsure, said, “I got... gl... g... glue and wings!” His speech wasn’t perfect — his sounds didn’t always come out right. But Ella knew exactly what he meant! 💬

Ella’s language helped her share her ideas. Timmy’s speech helped him say them. Both needed to work together to bring their rocket to life! 🚀✨

Moral: Language is about ideas and speech is about saying them! Both help us communicate and connect. 💬❤️
