Neuro Speech Services

Providing person-centered speech, language, and cognitive therapy for adults.

Specializing in Neuro Rehabilitation.

I focus exclusively on helping adults with stroke and brain injury, with over 20 years of experience providing engaging, knowledgeable, and compassionate therapy services.

Serving People With:

 

Aphasia

Improve your speech and language abilities in order to effectively communicate in the ways and places that matter most to you.

Brain Injury

Learn how to manage changes in your speech, language, and thinking skills in order to build your confidence and capability in everyday life activities.

Mild Cognitive Impairment

Optimize your brain function by learning brain healthy behaviors and personalized memory strategies to maintain your independence and quality of life.

Your Brain Health Matters.

The brain is our most valuable resource, the control center for all that we do. Among the most important concepts in neuro-rehabilitation is the concept of neuroplasticity, which refers to the brain’s ability to re-wire itself, creating new connections and functions based on experience. A successful therapy experience incorporates principles of brain health to ensure that the brain has the resources it needs for the best possible outcome.

Neuro Speech Services is passionate about supporting brain health in the rehabilitation process. Together, we will create a customized plan to support your brain health, including cognitive stimulation, social interaction, medical health needs, sleep and relaxation, physical activity, and nutrition.

 
 

My Approach.

Person-centered therapy is a collaborative process involving you, your family, and therapist to create a plan of care that values your goals and priorities. Your strengths and interests serve as the foundation for sessions that are functional and motivating.
