Why Choose Me
Parent Training
Children only spend an hour or two in speech therapy a week at most. It is critical that parents become an extension of therapy outside of sessions. Parents are required to observe and participate in sessions for optimal progress.
Collaboration
I work with the best doctors, clinicians, and medical professionals in the tri-state area. My network of professionals helps develop a comprehensive system of care for you and your loved ones for best outcomes.
Experience
Over 25 years of experience and over 2,000 hours of continuing education in oral motor and feeding. Expertise includes neurodiversity, dysarthria, Down syndrome, failure to thrive, TOTs, and Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders.
My Services
While I am licensed to treat many speech and language disorders, my practice is devoted to oral motor, oral placement, orofacial myofunctional, feeding, and motor/muscle-based speech sound disorders.
Vocology
Treating professional voice users and singers, especially those with tongue-tie and OMDs.
