Welcome! It's good to meet you.
I am the owner of Empowered Speech & Coaching. I work with adults to empower their:
💬 communication,
🧠 thinking skills, and
👅 ability to eat and swallow
after a brain injury, changes in the brain or body, or with a lifelong disability.

I provide services for:
🧠 Executive functioning coaching
💬 Speech and language therapy
🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Family cognitive communication consulting
🏢Return-to-work consulting and accommodations discovery

Unlike many other SLPs and executive functioning coaches, I have ADHD and live with memory, attention, and executive functioning challenges. Every day, I learn more about myself and the people I serve to provide effective and compassionate therapy services.

Client testimonial, Middlebury
Cora is wonderful! She is very knowledgeable and caring and I can’t say anything bad about her. I wish there were more people like her in the past that I could’ve dealt with! I enjoy seeing her every week, knowing that there’s something in her bag of tricks to help me. Don’t ever lose this girl. She’s a godsend to her patients! Thank you, Cora, for being the one they sent me to see.
