About me

Hello! I'm Nicole. I became a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) in 2012 becauseI wanted to help children express themselves. My own happiest childhood memories are of drawing, dancing, singing, and writing. As a young adult, I studied in Madrid for a year. Learning Spanish unlocked a door to new expression and communication opportunities. It was life changing. Flash forward to Brooklyn, New York, many years later where I worked as a paraprofessional in a self-contained preschool classroom. I watched SLPs, OTs, PTs, and counselors lead group lessons. They seemed to possess a super power that could unlock, or break down doors, inhibiting the success of my students. Seeing the breakthroughs they were able to achieve made me want to pursue education and training to “level up” from para to professional. I have worked in settings such as public schools, charter schools, and remote telehealth. I have received certifications, trainings, and taken courses in the following: Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist Intensive Training (in progress); How to Implement the Complexity Approach Therapy (11/2022); Evidence Based Practices for Early /R/ Therapy (7/2022). I would describe my clinical style as client-centered and individualized/personalized.
