Reach out through the contact form or by email at emily@speechandfunction.com. I’ll schedule a free consultation to learn more about your concerns, determine whether services are a good fit, and schedule an initial evaluation if appropriate.

I work with clients across the lifespan, including young children (ages 2+) through adulthood. Therapy is individualized to support each client’s developmental level, specific needs, and functional goals.

Myofunctional therapy focuses on improving the strength, coordination, and function of the oral and facial muscles to support healthy breathing, swallowing, chewing, speech production, and oral rest posture.

Common concerns addressed may include:

• Mouth breathing

• Tongue thrust

• Tongue tie

• Snoring

• Poor oral rest posture

• Sleep-disordered breathing

• Oral habits impacting oral development and function

Potential benefits of therapy may include:

• Improved airway health

• Better sleep quality

• Improved oral function

• Support for orthodontic stability

• Reduced TMJ discomfort

• Improved breathing and swallowing patterns

• Improved quality of life

Yes, a comprehensive evaluation is required prior to beginning services. The evaluation helps identify underlying patterns related to speech, swallowing, oral function, breathing, and oral rest posture so that therapy recommendations and goals can be individualized to your needs.

If you have a recent evaluation completed by another provider, it may be reviewed to determine whether additional assessment is necessary prior to starting treatment.

Sessions may be offered in-home or virtually based on location, scheduling availability, and client needs. Please contact me to discuss which option would be the best fit.

Speech & Function is currently a private pay practice. A superbill may be provided upon request for possible out-of-network reimbursement through your insurance provider.
