HI! I’M JACKIE

I am a proud mother of a beautiful boy. When I'm not planning or creating materials for my sessions, I can usually be found outdoors with my toddler, who loves outside activities and adventures. We take our dog on walks, go on hikes, travel to other cities, and generally love exploring. We enjoy cooking new recipes, reading, dancing, and tasting new cuisines. We're also usually doing language-based activities, of course!

My background is in psychology, and as a SLP, I have extensive experience working with children specifically, especially those on the spectrum and with behavioral disorders. Because I've worked in various settings, such as clinics, hospitals, schools, and early intervention programs, I've gained the ability to effectively collaborate with other professionals, such as OTS, PTS, and teachers. This has shaped my view on therapy approaches and has influenced my holistic treatment for clients.

I consider myself a lifelong learner and am constantly on top of research and obtaining certifications that will help my clients progress. Some of the certifications I have obtained include: bilingual extension in Spanish/English, PROMPT Level 1 certification, Myofunctional therapy training, SOS feeding therapy training, and AAC training.

MY COACHING METHOD

  • EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT

    Strive to provide the most current evidence-based approaches, aiding in faster progress and the quality of therapy for all clients

  • FAMILY-CENTERED APPROACH

    Educate and work alongside families because family success is at the center of my therapy approach

  • ACCESSIBLE

    Offer flexible sessions and affordable packages to fit all client needs

giving back

Contributing and giving back* is at the core of my mission. I hope to build a special needs school in Ecuador, where accessibility to speech and language therapy services is limited to nonexistent.

*1% of each paid session will go towards establishing this school in Ecuador
