About Tara

I am a speech-language pathologist originally from Calgary, AB. I have a bachelor of arts in Linguistics from the University of Calgary and received my Masters at the University of Alberta. I’ve grown up wanting to work as a speech language pathologist and have a strong passion and interest in supporting individuals with a variety of communication needs. I began my career at a school specializing in supporting children with complex communication needs and started working in private practice with a variety of clients. I believe in a play-based therapy approach and use my clients strengths and interests in sessions to promote growth and build positive relationships. I focus on including parents/guardians in sessions to help families gain confidence and skills needed to continue to support their child at home. I am passionate about supporting clients with a wide range of needs from speech sounds, motor speech, language delays/disorders, and/or alternative communication.
