Our Story

My name is Sydney, and I am a pediatric speech-language pathologist with a master’s degree from St. John's University. Most of my experience has been in school-based settings, where I have had the opportunity to work with children of all ages and a wide variety of communication needs, including children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental differences.

I love creating fun, engaging therapy sessions that are play-based, child-led, and centered around each child’s unique interests and strengths. Whether we are building with blocks, reading books, or practicing new sounds through games, I believe children learn best when they feel connected, supported, and excited to participate.

At Balance & Bloom Speech Therapy, I believe in helping children grow at their own pace while creating meaningful connections with families every step of the way. My goal is to make therapy feel encouraging, joyful, and balanced while helping children build the confidence and communication skills they need to thrive.
