As a speech-language pathologist, my primary clinical interests are assessment and treatment of voice and upper airway disorders. I also offer gender-affirming voice and communication training.

Care Philosophy

Our multidisciplinary team of speech-language pathologists and laryngologists strives to provide the best and most up to date care for people with voice and upper airway disorders across the lifespan. I work with patients on an individual level and tailor treatment to their social and occupational needs.

Interests & Activities

Personal Interests

I find joy in being outdoors, whether skiing, hiking, or cheering for my kids sports teams. I also enjoy playing volleyball, reading, puzzles, and cooking.

Volunteer Activities

I am involved in several ongoing volunteer efforts with the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the Colorado Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Beyond service to my profession, I foster animals for an animal rescue organization and get involved with local service projects whenever I am able.

Research Interests for Patients

My research focuses on improving assessment and treatment of patients with voice and upper airway disorders. I am broadly involved in research examining the pathophysiology of laryngeal diseases, particularly those related to irritation and inflammation. I use translational research techniques to investigate the structure and function of chemical receptors in the larynx and their relationship to chronic cough, paradoxical vocal fold motion, and vocal hyper function.
