In addition to her work within the spectrum of speech, she has a particular interest in feeding disorders, which can deeply affect children well into their future.

The HMS team has direct access to Heidi and she stays very involved with all of the clients at HMS even if they are not on her “direct case load”. We also very carefully “match” the child to the therapist. Though Heidi has worked in a multitude of settings, including private clinics, hospitals, and schools, she found her home in her own practice in Florham Park, New Jersey. Her practice has been recognized by NJ Family Magazine, Favorite Kid’s Doc since it opened its doors in 2010. Most recently winning “Top Vote Getter for Speech Pathology”. She opened an additional location in Park Ridge, NJ. Heidi is married with three children, which helps her understand a parent’s perspective. Additionally, the stresses of a busy household are not lost on her. She can relate and empathize with the concern every parent has for their child, and her direct and honest approach will guide your family through every step of growth. When Heidi isn’t working to change the lives of children, she can be found in the joyful chaos of her own home with her husband Dan, her three kids, Justin, Landon, and Lyla, and their adorable dog, Baci.
