About Me

Hello there! I’m Vanessa, a speech-language pathologist with over 15 years experience in the field, most of which has been with the neurology population in an inpatient setting. I have worked in diverse healthcare settings, including outpatient clinics, inpatient hospital settings, and home health. Throughout my career, I have developed a knack for being clinically creative and thinking outside the box.

One of my passions lies in the art of improvisation and role-playing. This appreciation for improvisation not only makes therapy sessions and life enjoyable but also helps my patients feel at ease.

My goals are rooted in the focus of patient-centered care. I have discovered a particular passion for patient counseling, an area that initially seemed daunting but has now become one of my favorite strategies when working with patients.

I want to ensure that my patients receive the most effective and evidence-based interventions tailored to their individual needs. With that being said, I hope this blog helps you as much as creating it has helped me continue to explore these exciting treatment strategies and vital research in our field.
