Hi, I’m Sarah!
I enjoy working with people of all ages to help them thrive and be their best selves. I know that each client’s journey to communication success is unique. That is why at Talkshop, we work closely with clients, families, carers and anyone involved to map out an individual’s therapy journey. We empower parents and caregivers to become active participants and advocates for our clients.
We take a play-based approach for children as we know play is powerful and can facilitate meaningful engagement and progress in therapy. When they are engaged, they are in the zone to learn and absorb what is happening around them.
When working with adults, I find it is most important to make sure they are heard and understood and are the decision-makers. So this way we can build a trusting relationship to work towards the functional communication goals.
I work with bilingual families, especially Korean families to help support parents and children to develop language, speech sounds, social and literacy skills. As a bilingual speech pathologist, I know that it is special for a child to have opportunities to learn to understand and speak their native language. I want to support families to grow the Korean culture through the language but also set functional goals to help the children thrive in their learning environment which is English-based.
As the clinic leader at our Frenchs Forest clinic, I work with my colleagues to deliver excellent and positive client experiences. From the moment you step foot at our clinic, we are dedicated to providing the clients and the families with the help that they need. I am committed to ensuring your journey with us is seamless, enjoyable and valuable.
On the weekend, I turn into a foodie and go hunting down for the next best cafe, bakery, cafe and restaurant. If you have any recommendations I would be down to try anything. Be sure to find me in the clinic!
