About
Ms. Ashley is speech-language pathologist, who is licensed by the state of Florida and certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). She received her undergraduate degree from the Richard Stockton College of NJ in Speech Pathology and Audiology. After that, she moved to sunny South Florida where she received her Master's degree from Nova Southeastern University. She is a PROMPT trained therapist. For over 8 years, Ms. Ashley has worked with children birth-21 years of age as well as adults, in a variety of settings, including home health, daycares, preschools, clinics, hospitals, and public/private schools. She has experience working with neurodivergent children, suspected/childhood apraxia of speech, fluency disorders, auditory processing disorders, expressive and receptive language disorders, developmental delays, articulation/phonological disorders, pragmatic language disorders, feeding disorders, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication.
Ms. Ashley’s professional experiences have helped her develop a communication style which encompasses a mixture of passion, empathy, and positive reinforcement for her patients as well as their family. Ms. Ashley started this practice as she has a passion for individually helping each child communicate across all environments with their loved ones and peers, using all modalities of communication. Ms. Ashley believes that the best approach to therapy is one that involves not only the child, but the parents/caregivers as well, in order to generalize skills that are learned during intervention sessions. Furthermore, she believes in a coaching model, where parents/caregivers are welcomed and encouraged to join in on therapy sessions in order to increase carryover and provide consistent education to meet each child’s needs.
Ms. Ashley is a new Mama to the sweetest little boy and when she is not working, she loves to spend time with her husband and son. They enjoy going on walks, going to the beach, and exploring St. Petersburg together as a family.

We provide comprehensive and individualized speech and language evaluations in homes, schools, and/or daycares. Standardized assessments are used as well as informal assessments and observation in order to identify your child’s current skills. This will help us establish the best plan of care for your child.
We offer individualized, one-on-one treatment at home, in preschools, daycares, private schools, or virtual settings.
Evaluating, diagnosing, and treating various speech and language disorders for individual clients is what we do best. However, It is our job as a profession to be the educators and to advocate for children and adults with unique abilities.

Choosing the best support team is an invaluable gift."
"Ashley has been like a third parent to our son for the last three years. I was feeling overwhelmed and confused about how to help my son who at an early age struggled with speech. Ashley came to our home and made the speech evaluation fun for our son and then helped me understand what was going on and how she could help. Her plan was thoughtful and clearly communicated. She followed through with her plan and kept me up to speed with frequent updates. She is accessible and kind. Our son adores her and always looked forward to speech therapy. Ashley knows how to challenge but not overwhelm a child. As a parent I felt empowered and informed. Ashley was also able to help us transition between different teachers. She is an amazing advocate for our son. I recommend her without hesitation and feel fortunate to have found her."
