My Approach To Speech Therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative and patient-centered. I want to make sure my clients are working toward techniques and strategies that are relative to their personal goals. Each person is unique, therefore each session will look different and treatment is individualized.

What A Session Looks Like With Me

While each session may look a little different, the general framework will stay the same. We discuss desired outcomes and progress, start with therapeutic warmups, learn and practice specialized vocal techniques, and give and receive feedback.
