Services: ** TELETHERAPY AVAILABLE ** LSVT-LOUD (Speech treatment for Parkinson's Disease patients):We provide evaluation and treatment for Parkinson’s Disease related communication deficits. Parkinson’s Disease and other neurological deficits often cause faulty feedback to the brain which can result in communication that is too soft, mumbled, monotone or hoarse. Because of this, patients with Parkinson's Disease can often be difficult to understand. Our LSVT-LOUD treatment teaches Parkinson’s Disease patients techniques to improve their communication ability and perception of appropriate loudness. Dysphagia – Patients with dysphagia have difficulty swallowing and may experience pain while swallowing, making it difficult to eat. Dysphagia is caused by weak muscles in the mouth and throat and is often a result of a stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease. Aphasia – Aphasia causes patients to have difficulty reading, speaking, listening and writing. Aphasia is caused by damage to parts of the brain that are responsible for language. Apraxia – Patients with apraxia have difficulty speaking what he/she wants to speak. Apraxia can occur in two forms. Patients can be born with the disorder or it can develop from a stroke or head injury. Dysarthria – Patients with dysarthria may have slurred speech, a slow or rapid rate of speech, abnormal rhythm when speaking or difficulty chewing and swallowing. Dysarthria can develop from a stroke or head injury. Stuttering – Stuttering is a communication disorder that causes difficulty in fluency of speech. This includes involuntary repetitions of words, parts of words or sounds. Stuttering is also referred to as stammering. Dementia – Dementia is related to memory loss. A speech-language pathologist can help patients with dementia by using strategies to help preserve communications and cognitive function.

I have been working with individuals with neurologic impairments for over 15 years and have valuable experience from some of the top rehabilitation centers in the country. I provide comprehensive evaluations and follow-up treatment for individuals with stroke, brain injury, concussion, brain tumors, aphasia, apraxia, and other neurogenic conditions. I tailor therapy to your individualized treatment goals, and focus on restoring your ability to do the things you love to do at home, in the community, at school, or at work. My philosophy is based on the Life Participation approach, which considers the whole person, their environment, and the connection of therapy tasks to participation in the activities of daily life. Therapy sessions can be based in my office, your home, the community or in a group or family centered environment. Treatment is functional, rewarding and supportive. I strive to empower my patients and their families while improving outcomes and independence.

I help frustrated people break down barriers to better communication, learning, and thinking so that they can lead fulfilling, independent lives. Mobile private practice and teletherapy allow me to provide personalized, encouraging, and effective therapy services to people in a way that meets them where they are. No worksheets, flashcards, etc. (unless you like those things!). I specialize in helping people experiencing difficulty with speaking, listening, reading, writing, attention/concentration, memory, organization, planning, and executive functions (the "boss" functions of the brain that help you get things done). I have a special place in my heart for people living with dementia and their families. While I cannot reverse or cure the cognitive decline that comes with dementia, I can help find ways to live well at each stage, reduce daily frustrations, and improve independence. Many people I work with have tried speech therapy in the past but found they did not have input into what they were doing, or their goals didn't meet their actual needs. So they left frustrated and without much progress. My approach focuses on shared goal-building and working together at a level that is challenging--but not impossible--so that you can see and feel the benefit of what you're doing.

Neurofeedback is direct training of brain function, by which the brain learns to function more efficiently. We observe the brain in action from moment to moment. We show that information back to the person. And we reward the brain for changing its own activity to more appropriate patterns. This is a gradual learning process. It applies to any aspect of brain function that we can measure. Neurofeedback is also called EEG Biofeedback, because it is based on electrical brain activity, the electroencephalogram, or EEG. Neurofeedback is training in self-regulation. It is simply biofeedback applied to the brain directly. Self-regulation is a necessary part of good brain function. Self-regulation training allows the system (the central nervous system) to function better. Neurofeedback addresses problems of brain dis-regulation. These happen to be numerous.  6965 San Luis Ave, Atascadero • Anxiety/Depression Spectrum • Attention Deficits • Behavior Disorders • Various Sleep Disorders • Headaches & Migraines • Traumatic Brain Injury • PMS & Emotional Disturbances • History of Stroke • Seizures • Autism Spectrum • Cerebral Palsy • Optimal performance in high stress jobs and sports

Speech disorders occur when the sounds or words we say are unclear and people struggle to understand what we say. Language disorders indicate an impairment with understanding, reading, writing or essentially the words we choose to use to communicate. Common complaints include: I’m stuttering People can’t understand what I’m saying I’m embarrassed to speak I can’t say sounds or words clearly I can’t get the right words out I can’t understand what others are saying I’m struggling to have a conversation I’m frustrated with the way I speak Swallowing disorders: Difficulty or pain while swallowing, may or may not be a cause of an underlying condition. Often includes difficulty with chewing, food getting “stuck”, coughing while eating or drinking or transmitting the food from your mouth to esophagus and finally to the stomach. Common complaints include: It hurts to swallow. I’m scared of choking I cough when I eat or drink. Food is getting “stuck” in my throat I am constantly belching It’s taking me too long to chew Cognitive-Linguistic Impairments: Often a result of brain injury or age related cognitive decline. Attention, memory, problem solving, processing information, speed of processing information, reasoning, interpreting language etc. are commonly affected thus affecting communication as well as activities of daily living like managing medications, finances, appointments etc. Common complaints include: I can’t remember where I put things. I’m losing my mind! I can’t seem to organize my thoughts. I forget to be safe/ have frequent falls. Voice Disorders: This may be a result of an impairment in physical structure, like vocal nodules, paralysis of the vocal cords, cancer of the head, neck or throat or simply age related changes to the vocal structures. However, sometimes voice disorders may be a result of ineffective or improper use of the vocal mechanism. This may mean putting too much strain on our vocal cords, improper breathing and voice coordination, unresolved psychological conflict etc. These are some common complaints: My voice sounds different. Why can’t people hear me? Why am I running out of breath while speaking? People make fun of my voice. My throat hurts when I speak! I sound nasal or high-pitched. I’m losing my voice! Help is available. Contact us today for more information.
