Services include: apraxia of speech (AOS/CAS), articulation (speech impediment), attention skills, auditory processing (APD, CAPD), autism (ASD), cognitive skills (memory, processing), developmental disorders, dyslexia/dysgraphia (phonics, literacy, reading, writing), early development (infants and toddlers), Late Language Emergence (late talkers), receptive and expressive language disorders, speech fluency (stutter, clutter), and second language learning (Spanish). I also work with adults in the following areas: accent reduction/modification, stroke recovery (aphasia, dysarthria), myofascial release (post radiation therapy), neurological disorders (dementia, Parkinsons), and Right Hemisphere Disorder. These are just some of the things I do — don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions!
History
Established in 2018.
The mission is simple — be the premier provider of private speech-language therapy in the Garden District. My therapy is grounded in well-researched, evidence-based practices and time-tested techniques. But there are no cookie cutter answers here. Every client is their own person and deserving of a personally designed intervention. No two people are the same, nor the approach. After all, this is an art, where preparation and experience meet creativity and ingenuity. And like art, it’s fun to do, so I try to find levity in everything. Life is serious enough. Our time together shouldn't be. This is where we get to enjoy ourselves. This is where we get to grow, learn, and get better.
