Welcome to my 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 an interest in helping people to communicate that I've had ever since. 

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. I got to work with autistic kids there, and later with autistic people of all ages. I learned so much from them! Now I'm also working with the trans and non-binary community to help my clients match their voice to who they truly are. It was more than worth it to re-learn everything I'd learnt about voice in grad school (and so much more) - 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 to support their entry to practice. I want passionate professionals to have the support they need.
