Hi! I'm Christina, the founder of Speech Feeding And Development Institute, LLC! I am a Speech-Language Pathologist and Pediatric Feeding Therapist, licensed in both NJ and NY. I received my Masters of Science degree from New York Medical College.

​

I have worked in a variety of settings including children's hospital, Early Intervention, school and private practice. I have experience working with a wide array of neurological and developmental disorders. I value research-based, play-centered approaches, and neuro-diversity affirming practices.

​

I embrace different cultures and enjoy working with families to bridge skills learned in therapy to the child's social environments. I strive to think critically to develop individualized treatment plans that focus on the 'whole child' and the 'whole family' to reach goals. I am passionate about advocating for my clients and their families while working in a collaborative manner with other professionals on the child's team. It is truly rewarding to empower families every day.

​

As both a speech-language pathologist and a mom, I bring not only clinical expertise but also real-life understanding to my work. My own parenting journey has deepened my empathy and helps me support families in a way that feels practical, compassionate, and collaborative.
