Speech Language Pathologist and Founder

Hi! I’m Monica.

I’m a registered Speech-Language Pathologist and the founder of Blume Speech and Language Therapy.

I specialize in two key areas: early language development in young children and rehabilitation for adults with acquired brain injuries. Whether I’m helping a toddler find their first words or supporting someone as they re-learn how to communicate after a stroke or TBI, my approach is always rooted in compassion, accessibility, and transparency.

At Blume, I believe communication is a human right — and therapy should feel like a collaboration, not a mystery. I take time to really understand each client and family, making space for questions, concerns, and big emotions. My work is neurodiversity-affirming and family-centered, with strategies tailored to your real-life routines and goals.

One of my core values is ongoing education. As a clinician, I know that we don’t know what we don’t know — but once I know better, I will always do better. That’s why I stay committed to learning, unlearning, and evolving in this field, so I can provide the safest, most respectful care possible.

Outside of work, you’ll find me walking my dog, experimenting with sourdough bakes, or dreaming up new therapy ideas over coffee. I started this practice with a big vision: to create a space where clients and families feel seen, supported, and truly heard — and every day, I’m grateful to bring that vision to life.
