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.

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.
