About Me And My Speech Therapy Practice
Helping Children and Adults Speak Clearly, Confidently, and with Independence
Communication is at the heart of everyday life. Whether your child is struggling to be understood at school, or you’re an adult recovering from a neurological event or dealing with stuttering, I help clients build clear, confident communication that makes a real difference.
Who I Help
I work with:​
-
Children with speech sound delays, articulation challenges, and language development needs
-
Adults and teens experiencing stuttering, fluency difficulties, or speech changes after neurological events
-
Families looking for guidance on improving everyday communication at home, school, or work
Every client receives individualized support designed to meet their unique goals — whether that’s clearer pronunciation, improved fluency, or greater confidence speaking in social and academic settings.
How I Work
My speech therapy approach is:
-
Personalized: Every plan is tailored to the client’s strengths and needs
-
Supportive: Sessions are encouraging, engaging, and positive
-
Functional: Strategies focus on real-life communication, not just drills
-
Flexible: Services are offered in-home, at school, or online to fit your schedule
​
I also partner with parents, caregivers, and educators to ensure progress continues beyond therapy sessions.

Certifications
Lidcombe Program
The Lidcombe Program is a behavioral treatment for children who stutter under 6 years of age (may be suitable for some older children). This form of therapy uses a combination of therapy sessions and parental day-to-day observations to ultimately either remove the stutter entirely or reach an extremely low level.

LSVT LOUD
LSVT LOUD® is an effective speech treatment for individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and other neurological conditions. Published research data support improvements in vocal loudness, intonation, and voice quality for individuals with PD who received LSVT LOUD, with improvements maintained up to two years after treatment. Treatment is administered in 16 sessions over a single month (four individual 60-minute sessions per week). Patients are trained to self-generate the adequate amount of loudness to make their speech understood.
