I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) with more than 15 years of experience helping families just like yours.
My expertise isn't just rooted in professional experience; it's also deeply personal. I'm a wife and mom of two.
My introduction to motherhood came with a lot of scary, unexpected challenges and overwhelm... along with a profound realization- parents deserve more than just guesswork and uncertainty as they guide their child's development.
I founded Play Talk Love to provide expertise, empathy and experience to parents and caregivers during the most important years of their child's life.
I've helped thousands of families successfully nurture and navigate their child's speech and language skills.
Whether you're navigating early language milestones or facing unexpected challenges, you don't have to do it alone. I'm here to help!
What Parents Are Saying...
What Parents Are Saying...
After feeling dismissed and shamed because my child wasn't really talking... your support felt like a warm hug and actually helped me connect with my son. He's talking so much now, I can't believe it!
-Bridget, Mom of a 2 year old
As a new mom to a sweet, cleft affected boy, I felt overwhelmed when I realized there was a huge lack of resources available to parents. I searched the internet for everything I could find to help support my son's speech, relative to his cleft, and I found nothing… until I found Chelsea. I almost cried because for the first time I finally felt SEEN.
-Kimberly, First Time Mom
I can’t thank you enough for all your knowledge and insight with our move to an IEP. We were so frustrated with the process and really stressed because we didn’t know what to expect or how to advocate for B’s needs. After our 1:1 coaching session, I know my rights in this process, what to look for when my son is assessed and I feel confident in speaking up.
-Emma, Mom of a 3 year old
We got your Daily Routines PDF when our son was 15 months old and only using a few sounds. He's now almost 18 months and up to 25 words and counting- the list grows every day! It's crazy!
-Travis, First Time Dad
Another new word today!!! Totally mind blown- we just talked to you last week for the consult. It's incredible the strides she is making thanks to your help!
-Katie, First Time Mom
It’s been less than a week since our 1:1 and G already has three new words: brother, clap and go!
-Jenna, Mom of a 2 year old
It sounds dramatic, but you literally changed our life. We were feeling so defeated and dismissed. We've been on waitlists for therapy for months. After one consult, J is already using new words! He's up to 7 words in just a week! And, we feel like we are so much more tuned in and able to see what he's communicating. We are so grateful for your guidance.
- Sarah & Matt, First Time Parents
I was desperate for answers because my 18 month old wasn't using many words. I started implementing your tips and her language has completely exploded!
- Allison, Toddler Mom
My toddler is a little over 2 now and she's freakin' rocking her language thanks to you! People are constantly shocked when they talk to her! It's all from what I learned and implemented with your help!
-Meghan, Toddler Mom
As new parents to a cleft affected child, we were overwhelmed. There was a huge amount of information we needed to learn, a wide array of medical professionals we needed to see and such a heightened level of emotion. Having an SLP who had a deep understanding of our daughter's unique needs and a wonderful ability to connect helped us understand, advocate and set our daughter up for success.
-Beth, Mom of 4
We’re enjoying just playing and talking with our son again!
-Andrew & Jessica, Toddler Parents
