Speech therapy is a specialized treatment that helps individuals improve their communication skills. This can include addressing difficulties with speech clarity, language comprehension, voice quality, fluency, and cognitive-communication abilities.

Speech therapy can benefit people of all ages, from young children with speech delays to adults recovering from strokes or brain injuries. I treat a variety of conditions including articulation disorders, language delays, stuttering, and cognitive-communication issues.

Signs that speech therapy might be needed include difficulties with speaking clearly, trouble understanding or using language, problems with voice quality, or challenges with social communication. If you have concerns about your or your child’s communication skills, a speech-language pathologist can provide an evaluation to determine if therapy is appropriate.

During an evaluation, I will conduct a comprehensive assessment involving standardized tests, observations, and interviews. This helps us understand your or your child’s communication abilities and challenges. You will receive a detailed report with findings and recommendations.

The length of each session can vary, but will most often be between 30-60 minutes depending on the needs of the client. I can work with you to create a therapy schedule that will work for you. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual’s needs and goals. Some people may see significant improvement in a few sessions, while others may require ongoing therapy. I will work with you to establish a personalized treatment plan and set realistic goals.

At this time, I am only able to accept cash/check payments. However, I can provide a receipt of services and you may be able to contact your insurance company for reimbursement options.

For your first appointment, please bring any relevant medical records and/or previous evaluations. Additionally, be prepared to discuss your concerns and goals for therapy.

The frequency of therapy sessions is based on individual needs and can range from once a week to several times a week. I will recommend a schedule that best supports your goals and progress.

Yes, we encourage parents and caregivers to be involved in the therapy process. Your active participation can greatly enhance the effectiveness of therapy by reinforcing skills and strategies at home.

To get started, contact me to schedule an initial consultation or evaluation. I will guide you through the process, answer any questions, and provide the necessary information to begin therapy.

At this time, I can travel to your house or meet you at a location within the community depending on location and availability.
