Hi, I’m Maria! I am a Speech-Language Pathologist from Florida, passionate about working with children and supporting their communication development.

‍

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies with a focus in Biological and Health Sciences and a Minor in Psychology in 2006 from the University of Central Florida. In 2011, I completed my Master’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders, also at the University of Central Florida. I have been a member of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association since then and earned my Certificate of Clinical Competence in 2012.

‍

For the past ten years, I’ve worked as an Elementary Speech/Language Pathologist in the public school system, while also maintaining a private practice caseload serving both remote and in-person clients.

‍

My therapy focuses on children with expressive and receptive language disorders, articulation disorders, social-pragmatic deficits, autism spectrum disorder, cochlear implants, and Down Syndrome. I believe communication is key to helping children thrive in all environments.

I am Italian-American and speak English and Italian.
