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.

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!

Extremely friendly, relationship based environment. Children undergo a thorough dynamic assessment, where we analyze and match your child's developmental level. We take into account child's individual differences (sensory, physical, cognitive, social - emotional development) and your child's unique way of taking in the information from the world. We take into account the biological differences that may be influencing your child's ability to learn and grow. We strongly believe in building relationships with primary caregivers, and think that it is a critical element in helping a child return to a healthy developmental path. * Individual as well as group therapy are available.

Parents of children with a speech/articulation concern: -Are you feeling frustrated because you can not understand your child when he speaks? -Is your child also frustrated because he doesn't feel understood and can't clearly express what he wants? -Has another professional told you that your child will outgrow his speech problem, but it doesn't seem to be getting better? -Is your child becoming more withdrawn because he knows he can't say certain words correctly? -Is your child 8 yrs old or older and still can't say R, S, TH, or L words? -Are other kids starting to notice that your child speaks differently? -Do you have to interpret your child's speech to other people? Adults: Do you have a regional or foreign accent that you would like to change? Are you feeling insecure at work or in social situations because of the way you talk? Do you always have to repeat yourself? Do you have difficulties being understood over the phone? Do you shy away from group talks or meetings because of the way you talk? Do you let other people talk for you at work or social gatherings? Do you feel your accent or enunciation skills get in the way at work or in social settings? To my potential clients, if you can relate to any or all of the above, I am here to help. Clear communication is essential to all of our relationships, both personal and professional. You don't necessarily have to be the greatest orator like Winston Churchill or John F. Kennedy. But it would be pretty great to be articulate just like them, but on a smaller scale within your tribe or community. Sessions are via tele-therapy only. I am licensed to practice in Colorado and California. So if you are located in these states, feel free to reach out. I offer free 20 minute consultations and we can chat it up and get those questions answered.
