I earned my Master's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from UT Austin, a program that laid the foundation for my deep understanding of the field. With a decade of experience in practice, I've had the privilege of witnessing transformative moments in the lives of those I work with. My approach is rooted in both expertise and empathy, aiming to create a comfortable space for clients to overcome speech and language challenges.

It's been a fulfilling journey, and I'm excited to continue empowering others to find their voices and communicate confidently.

FAQ
Payment
-
We are hoping to be in network with most insurance companies soon. Right now, we accept limited insurance including Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, VAYA and United Healthcare. Upon request, we can provide families with a document called a superbill that can be submitted to insurance companies as an out-of-network service.
Evaluations
-
An evaluation dated within one year of the start of service is required for all services. We can accept evaluations from schools or other agencies on a case by case basis.
Waitlist
-
We currently have no waitlist for services, but this is subject to change at any time. Contact us today to ensure your spot!
Getting Started
-
To initiate services using health insurance benefits, we require a referral from your pediatrician indicating that your child needs to be evaluated and treated for speech therapy. A referral is not required for private pay clients.
