Our Services
Children
Does your toddler or preschooler struggle to reach early milestones for speech? Does your school-aged kiddo need help being understood by others? We assess your child’s speech in a playful manner and set meaningful goals for therapy. We love to use your child’s interests to create a strong connection which optimizes outcomes.
Tweens & Teens
Does your teen have a lingering sound to correct, like that tricky “R”? Do they feel self-conscious about the way their speech sounds? We do an analysis of speech and look for underlying factors that are getting in the way of correct articulation. We create treatment plans that are motivating to efficiently achieve goals.
Adults
Do you distort one or two sounds that you have always wanted to “fix”? Do you have an accent or dialect that you feel makes it hard for others to understand you? With motivation and effort, it is not too late to make a change. We can perform an evaluation of your speech, set achievable goals and help you reach them through effective therapy.

I have been making a difference with my speech therapy patients for thirty years. I am certified by the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association and licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia. I received my Masters Degree in Speech-Language Pathology from The George Washington University and a Bachelor's Degree in Speech-Language Pathology from Loyola University of Maryland. At the start of my career, I completed my Clinical Fellowship at Inova Fairfax Hospital for Children. I have remained on staff there as a dedicated member of the Inova Children's Cranio-Facial Team.

I takes a special interest in treating speech sound disorders and differences. I use a creative and individualized approach to help my patients achieve their goals for improved communication and intelligible speech…sound by sound.
