Erica holds a certificate of clinical competence and an NH license in Speech-Language Pathology. She received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Worcester State University in Worcester, MA. With Cassandra Chapman as her mentor, Erica completed her clinical fellowship at New England Pediatric Services. She then worked at NEPS for approximately four and a half years before her first son was born, and she took time to stay home and raise her children.
During her first years at NEPS, Erica developed a particular interest in treating Childhood Apraxia of Speech. She also enjoys working with a variety of other speech and language disorders and has experience working with a variety of ages as well. Erica’s therapy methods are child-led and play-based to expand on each child’s unique abilities and areas of potential growth. While her therapy is focused on the child, she recognizes that children are part of a family and that the family is a child’s primary support system; she often incorporates family members into therapy sessions for direct learning of supportive techniques and carryover activities to implement at home.
Now that her children are in school, Erica is excited to return to her passion of speech-language pathology. When she is not focused on work, she loves spending time with her husband and their two boys, enjoying the outdoors, and playing soccer.
