Hey there! I'm Mel-

speech-language pathologist whose passion is working with children and their families. I have over 10 years of experience working with the pediatric population in both early intervention settings and New York City public schools. With this background, I have witnessed the bridge between early language, family involvement, and future academic success.

Raised in the Bronx and currently residing in Queens, New York, I believe in the importance of embracing diverse backgrounds and working together to meet your child’s goals. I believe speech therapy can be a fun and empowering experience for both you and your child. I look forward to connecting with you!

Kind Words

"I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care and dedication Mel has shown as a speech therapist. From the very beginning, it was evident that Mel is not only highly skilled, but also genuinely passionate about her work. Her patience and kindness have created a nurturing environment where my son feels comfortable and motivated to improve. Since starting therapy with Mel last August, we have witnessed remarkable progress in his speech development. Mel goes above and beyond by providing invaluable tips and guidance on how to support our child's speech journey at home. Her willingness to answer any questions further demonstrates her commitment to helping her clients thrive. We are incredibly thankful for Mel's expertise and compassion, and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a truly exceptional speech therapist."
