Services Offered

I offer complimentary phone consultations for individuals, families, and professionals seeking guidance or a second opinion. If you are unsure whether a comprehensive evaluation is the right next step, we can discuss your concerns and map out the best path forward together.

A comprehensive evaluation is the first step in understanding your or your child’s unique needs. During this session, I conduct a thorough assessment of speech sound production, swallowing mechanics, breathing patterns, oral rest posture, and overall oral function. My goal is to identify the underlying root causes of any challenges and design a customized treatment plan moving forward.

I provide individualized, functional therapy tailored to support meaningful progress in your daily life. Because I specialize in the intersection of speech, swallowing, and airway mechanics, treatment plans are designed to target the root cause of functional challenges.
