Emma is a passionate speech-language pathologist who specializes in helping children develop the skills they need to communicate, eat, and thrive. She treats a variety of communication disorders, including articulation and receptive and expressive language disorders, and has experience supporting children who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). She also specializes in pediatric feeding, including developing chewing skills, addressing swallowing difficulties, and supporting children with picky eating and pediatric feeding disorder.

Her passion for the field is deeply personal. Growing up with a brother with autism inspired her to pursue speech-language pathology and fostered her love for helping children and families find meaningful ways to connect and communicate. She believes every child deserves the opportunity to communicate effectively, in whatever way works best for them, and feels incredibly honored to partner with families throughout their child's journey.

She is grateful to be part of the Youthful Horizons team, where evidence-based practice, family-centered care, and clinician support are at the heart of the practice. She loves being part of a team that prioritizes both the families it serves and the clinicians who care for them.

Outside of work, Emma enjoys spending time with her husband, James, who is also a pediatric physical therapist at Youthful Horizons. They love having the opportunity to collaborate and work alongside one another. Together, they have a young daughter, Marlee, who brings so much joy to their lives!
