Welcome!
I believe there is always hope that every person can improve, even if you or your child has struggled with articulation, stuttering, or facial paresis in the past without adequate results. What you may desire more than anything right now is for you or your child to speak with improved self-confidence and self-worth. For that to happen, though, you need a speech therapist with a relentless passion to identify and implement therapy methods that will facilitate progress. Through tailored online speech therapy, we can discover your speech sound success!
R Speech Success
I can help you fix your "r" sound...quickly!
The R Speech Success program is designed to help children, tweens, and teens correct their R sound using an intensive speech therapy approach. R Speech Success consists of a thorough evaluation, analysis of the test results, comprehensive report, and a plan of care and therapy that addresses the root cause of the R problems so we can achieve success, quickly!
We will meet M-F for 30 minutes over 12 weeks (60 sessions, 30 minutes in length). All sessions are held online providing convenience and privacy for parents’ and children’s busy schedules. This intensive approach is evidence-informed, solutions-focused, and effective!
Home Run Speech
Introducing a parent "Run" therapy system from the comfort of “Home.” Designed for kids whose speech is in the ballpark, but have a few sounds stuck at first base.
This program works great for parents who are looking for expert guidance to support their child's speech but are excited to implement the home programs themselves. Children make efficient progress with parent support and daily practice. We have many homeschool families who have easily integrated the program into their school day. Here's how it works:
​
-
We will begin with a Speech Sound Analysis to understand your child's speech errors
-
A customized plan and goals will be developed
-
You will be provided with specific speech strategies and materials (updated as progress is made)
-
Progress will be monitored with regular check-ins via a HIPAA-compliant video app
-

Speech Therapy for Articulation
Let's discover clear speech
Whether you are looking to refine a speech sound – like that pesky “R” sound – or learn a variety of new sounds, I can help! We will begin with a thorough evaluation to identify articulation errors, uncover any barriers to proper sound production, and determine a starting point for intervention. Speech therapy sessions will combine targeted sound drills and home practice to help you or your child:
​
-
Consistently produce all speech sounds correctly
-
Pronounce names and words that are important to you
-
Decrease feelings of self-consciousness

Speak with clarity and confidence
Facial Paresis
Speech Therapy for Stuttering
Discover talking with ease & confidence
Speech therapy for stuttering is highly personalized and depends on the nature of your stuttering/speech disfluencies and the way that it affects your life. We will work together to find out which strategies work best to improve speech fluency and practice them in many different speaking situations. Equally important, we will focus on building self-esteem and self-advocacy skills because stuttering shouldn’t hold anyone back. Fluency therapy can help you or your child:
-
Communicate with fewer moments of stuttering
-
Learn fluency strategies for smoother speech
-
Reduce anxiety in speaking situations
-
Improve feelings of self-worth and self-confidence
