My passion is to help people be confident communicators in the social circles to which they belong – whether at home, at school, at work or at play. My assessment, consultation and therapy services targeting communication and swallowing skills are available to address a wide-range of needs for children and adults as well as their significant others, including improving a child’s speech or language delay/disorder, improving swallowing safety in an adult who had a stroke or who has a progressive neuromuscular/neurodegenerative disease, developing an augmentative or alternative method of communication, helping establish an effective functional system of communication after a stroke, or even helping a student return to a learning environment after a sport-related concussion. Good relationship starts with good communication. The ability to reciprocally share our inward most thoughts, feelings and ideas with others is essential to developing and maintaining quality relationships. When speech, language, or cognitive skills are insufficient to enable us to communicate effectively, we can be deprived of those meaningful connections in our relationships that give us life and define a fully-satisfying human experience. I am dedicated to prioritizing and crafting therapy goals that are personally-tailored to the individual’s needs. I believe therapy must be conducted in a fun, meaningful way that is relevant to the client’s life and everyday interests in order to achieve the highest success. My services are highly contextualized because they are offered in the location of the client’s choice – at home, at school, etc. Call now to learn how my services can help you! Although I offer services to a wide range of clientele, my special areas of interest include:
- Adults who have a progressive neuromuscular disease, or who have had a stroke or a Traumatic Brain Injury
- Students of all ages who are returning to learning after concussion (sport-related, etc.)
