Hi, I’m Craig!

I’m a pediatric speech-language pathologist serving families on the Westside of Los Angeles. I’ve been working with children for over a decade, and have been practicing as an SLP since 2020.

I live on the Westside of LA with my wife and our senior cat, Mocha. When I’m not working, you’ll find me hiking, traveling (we’ve been to 5 of 7 continents), taking pictures (all the photos on this site are mine!), or trying to keep my many plants alive.

Education & Certifications

I hold a Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, and I’m certified in Hanen More Than Words® and as an Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist.

Specializations

I specialize in working with neurodivergent children, particularly autistic kids and complex cases that require creative problem-solving. I focus on total communication, including with AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication), helping children who don’t speak (or don’t speak much yet) find effective ways to communicate. I primarily work with children, but also enjoy working with adolescents as they transition to young adulthood.

Service Area & Availability

I serve families in Culver City, Palms, Mar Vista, West Los Angeles, Brentwood, Santa Monica, and Beverly Hills.

In-person and telehealth sessions available. If you’d prefer in-person but are outside of my driving range, let’s chat to see if we can make something work.
