Dogwood Developmental Therapy

Dogwood Developmental Therapy SLP with 18 years experience supporting children & their families with communication and feeding.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with children as a Speech-Language Pathologist since 2007. I hold a Master of Science in Speech-Language and Auditory Pathology from East Carolina University. Soon after graduate school, I returned “home” to Fayetteville, NC. In Fayetteville I had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings serving children age’s birth through high-school. These settings include inclusive developmental preschools, elementary schools, “natural environments” (homes, daycares), as well as clinic based clients. In the clinic and preschools, collaboration between myself and other service providers was afforded to me. I feel this was paramount as a new clinician in that I was able to learn to assess the whole child from the perspectives of the Occupational and Physical therapists with whom I was able to work closely. To be able to assess the whole child and make appropriate referrals is critical in being able to ameliorate the communication, learning and feeding difficulties in my own clients. I opened Dogwood Developmental Therapy in Hampstead in February 2017 and moved to Topsail Beach full-time in February 2018. I moved into my current location on the mainland in Surf City in September 2019. I have a special interest in working with children with feeding, speech-intelligibility and pragmatic language difficulties due to Autism, sensory-integration, and motor-speech disorders. I am eager to bring my knowledge and experience with these sensitive populations to the Topsail Island Area.

Snooki flew to her new home at The Minnesota Zoo on Monday!💦Splash on!

The Minnesota Zoo is now the home of a loggerhead sea turtle named Snooki, in a nod to the "Jersey Shore" star.

Snooki was rescued in 2016 after being stranded in New Jersey, hence the name Snooki in a nod to the "Jersey Shore" star. Snooki was rehabilitated at Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in North Carolina.

However, Snooki's buoyancy issues made it so she couldn't be released back into the wild.

Had so much fun with the 2025 Summer Camp Crew last week. On Monday, we strolled and ate well at the Surf City Ocean Pier Inc. On Tuesday we dropped in on a Turtle Talk with The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, visited Ecological Marine Adventures Topsail Island NC, and ate delicious tacos at Shaka Taco. We stuck around Surf City Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Soundside Park for fishing and Max's Pizza Wednesday. Thursday was for beach fun and ! Can't wait until next year!
