Bay Area OUTspoken

I am a bilingual Cantonese speech-language pathologist who has worked in public schools throughout the Bay Area with students PreK- college age. I have provided diagnostic and therapeutic services for toddlers, children, and teens with articulation and phonological disorders, learning disabilities, pragmatic, receptive and expressive language delays.

​

I work with and advocate for trans and gender diverse clients to assist them with finding their healthy and beautiful voices.  I collaborate with local gender health clinics and offer gender affirming voice services. I have lectured and presented at a number of local community organizations and Universities. I continue to teach graduate students to cultivate culturally responsive framework when working with gender diverse children and adults.

I am a strong advocate of a collaborative team approach to focus on my clients' wellness and success, which includes their families, friends, and other significant individuals in their support network.
