Find your voice again.
Communication changes can be frustrating, isolating, and overwhelming. I work with adults navigating a wide range of speech and language challenges to help reclaim your hobbies, interests, and connection.
Every voice deserves to be heard.
If you’re adjusting to life after a stroke, managing memory or language changes, or living with Parkinson’s, I’m here to help you stay connected to what matters most.
Communication isn’t just about words - it’s about connection, purpose, and independence. Together, we’ll practice skills that fit into your real life: sharing stories with friends, making a grocery list, enjoying your favorite movies, or simply feeling confident in everyday conversations.
And for caregivers: you’re part of the team, too. I’ll provide practical tools, ongoing support, and collaborative goals so daily life feels smoother for you and your loved one.

My goal is to make therapy meaningful and practical, so you can stay connected to what matters most to you - with more independence, confidence, and joy.

In addition to individual therapy, I also host free and low-cost group sessions throughout the year—designed to bring people together around shared hobbies, interests, or goals.
Supported conversation groups about current events, favorite books or movies, or mutual support through communication challenges
Creative writing and storytelling clubs
Art-and-chat sessions for adults with communication disorders
