PRIVATE SPEECH THERAPY
I offer effective, personalized, one-on-one sessions to treat disorders of speech, language, voice, feeding, and swallowing for pediatric and adult populations. My therapy approach is client-led and family-centered so that I use my client’s strengths and interests, and interpersonal communication needs as the building blocks for establishing treatment goals. When I work with my client, I’m also working on a team with their family and caregivers.
My specialty is in adult neurogenic disorders due to stroke, degenerative diseases, and traumatic brain injury.
