I’m a multidisciplinary artist and speech therapist who works at the intersection of expression and emotion. Through encaustic art—a centuries-old technique using layers of beeswax, resin, and pigment—I explore memory, texture, and the quiet beauty of imperfection. Each piece holds 20+ layers of intention, story, and experimentation. Whether I’m helping someone find their voice or making art that speaks without words, I believe in the power of small, soulful things.

My areas of professional interest including gender-affirming voice care, swallowing, head and neck cancer and stuttering care. I have 14 years experience in outpatient rehabilitation settings working closely with otolaryngologists and other physicians. I started my private practice Lark Voice and Speech Services in 2015 to focus on voice care in occupational voice users. I am also adjunct instructor and clinical supervisor at Moravian University in Bethlehem, PA.

I received a Bachelor of Music in commercial voice from Belmont University in Nashville, TN. My love of music and singing combined with health motivated me to pursue speech pathology in my home state of Colorado. There, I received a Masters degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder, in Speech Language and Hearing Sciences. I have completed extensive additional training to increase my care of voice including completing courses in Myofascial release, Manual Therapy, Lessac-Madsen Resonant Voice Therapy (LMRVT), Conversation Training Therapy (CTT), Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) and Trauma-informed care certification.

My creative and academic writing has been published in Full Grown People, Intima, Pulse, the ASHA leader, ENT Secrets, CHEST and several blogs.

I am a founding member of the Lehigh Valley chapter of Threshold Choir, an organization committed to singing at the bedside of those in hospice care.

I have helped to pioneer multidisciplinary voice clinics alongside stellar Ear, Nose and Throat physicians at National Jewish Health in Denver, Colorado and more recently in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

I live with my husband, two children and a lovely hound dog named Phoebe.
