Speech-Language Pathologist

I’m a speech-language pathologist and owner of Total Communication Therapy, specializing in supporting children with complex communication needs, including those who use AAC and those with childhood apraxia of speech, autism, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy. I’m passionate about helping children find meaningful ways to express themselves and be understood.

I also speak Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi, and bring a multicultural perspective that informs my work and supports culturally responsive, respectful care for all families.

I believe that every child has the right to communicate. My approach is collaborative, functional, and individualized—focused on building communication skills that carry over into everyday life across home, school, and community settings.

I work closely with families and interdisciplinary teams to create consistent, supportive communication environments. Whether through AAC systems or motor-based speech therapy approaches, my goal is to help each child develop communication that is both effective and meaningful.

With experience supporting children with autism, apraxia, and complex communication profiles, I provide therapy that is evidence-based, child-centered, and responsive to each child’s unique strengths and needs.

I’d love to support your child’s communication journey. No pressure—just a conversation.
