Welcome to our Online Clinic

Hi! I'm Stephanie (she/her/elle). I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), and I love what I do.

I have always wanted to be an SLP. When I was 12, my mom's friend took me to visit her colleagues at the rehab department of a hospital. It sparked my life-long interest in helping people to communicate!

When I was 16, I had the incredible luck to go to Pearson College UWC on Vancouver Island, where I learned a lot about diversity and communication, living and learning with students from 70 different countries. Then I took Math and French at the U of Winnipeg. I taught math and physical science in Malawi for a couple of years. I was in no way qualified to teach physical science, and once started a fire in the science lab! Then I headed to Minneapolis to do an MA in Communication Disorders at the U of Minnesota. 

I became an SLP to work with people with aphasia, usually from a stroke. Early in my career, I worked in the Franco-Manitoban School Division, where I learned a ton about bilingualism. Then I joined SpeechWorks (which joined Hello Speech to become Hello SpeechWorks) where I got to work with autistic kids, and later with autistic people of all ages. I learned so much from them! For the past 5 years, I have been offering gender-affirming voice care for trans and non-binary folx who want to match their voice to who they truly are. Helping people to discover a voice that they love is one of my greatest joys!

I now also have the absolute pleasure of mentoring grad students and early-career SLPs. I love passing on my skills and knowledge to the next generation of passionate professionals!
