Cognitive-Communication Therapy
Cognitive-communication therapy supports adults who experience difficulties with memory, attention, problem-solving, or executive functioning due to conditions like dementia, traumatic brain injury, or stroke.
I focus on practical strategies that improve daily life, such as remembering important information, staying on task, and organizing conversations or routines. Therapy often includes caregiver coaching to ensure these strategies are reinforced at home, helping patients maintain independence and confidence in social and personal interactions.
Speech Production & Articulation
Clear speech is essential for effective communication, but neurological conditions or muscle weakness can make words sound slurred, mumbled, or hard to understand. In Palm Beach County, I provide specialized therapy to strengthen the muscles used in speech, improve coordination, and refine articulation.
Treatment includes guided practice of sounds, words, and sentences, along with breathing and pacing techniques. My goal is to help you speak more clearly and be understood in conversations with family, friends, and caregivers.
Language Therapy (Aphasia)
Aphasia can make it difficult to find the right words, understand others, or read and write after a stroke or brain injury. My language therapy focuses on restoring communication skills through targeted exercises and real-world practice.
I use evidence-based methods to improve word retrieval, comprehension, and sentence-building, while also providing tools such as visual cues and communication aids. For families in the Palm Beaches, this means patients can more easily share their thoughts, participate in conversations, and stay connected with loved ones.
Voice Therapy
Changes in voice can make it difficult to speak clearly, project with strength, or participate fully in conversations. This often happens with Parkinson’s disease, aging, or after medical procedures affecting the vocal cords.
My voice therapy programs include breath support, pitch and volume training, and specialized approaches such as SPEAK OUT!®. In-home sessions in Palm Beach focus on exercises that strengthen and protect the voice, making communication easier and more effective in daily life.
Swallowing Therapy (Dysphagia)
Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, can put health and safety at risk by increasing the chances of choking or aspiration pneumonia. I provide swallowing therapy that combines exercises, safe swallowing techniques, and meal-time strategies tailored to each patient’s needs.
Therapy may involve adjusting food textures, practicing specific swallowing maneuvers, and coaching caregivers to support safe eating at home. The goal is to help patients in Palm Beach enjoy meals again with confidence.
Reading & Writing Support
Many adults face challenges with reading and writing after a stroke, brain injury, or due to progressive neurological conditions. I provide therapy that focuses on improving comprehension, spelling, and written expression using strategies like visual anchors, structured practice, and functional activities such as letter writing or reading household information.
My approach is personalized so that patients can regain practical literacy skills needed for everyday independence, from reading bills to writing notes.
AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication)
When speech alone is not enough, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tools can give patients a reliable way to express themselves. AAC ranges from simple picture boards and notebooks to high-tech speech-generating devices.
I work with patients and families in Palm Beach to evaluate needs, select the right AAC tools, and provide training for everyday use. With AAC, communication becomes possible and meaningful again, restoring connection and reducing frustration for both patients and caregivers.
Functional Communication Skills
Functional communication therapy focuses on the everyday interactions that make life easier and more fulfilling. This includes skills like ordering at a restaurant, asking for help, or expressing needs in social or medical settings.
I provide practice in real-world scenarios, tailoring each session to the patient’s lifestyle and environment in Palm Beach. Therapy may involve role-playing, conversational strategies, and caregiver training, ensuring that patients feel more confident and capable in daily life.
Progressive Disease Management
Neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, ALS, or dementia can affect communication and swallowing over time. I provide ongoing therapy that adapts to each stage of a progressive disease, ensuring patients and families receive the right strategies when they are needed most.
Treatment may focus on preserving speech clarity, maintaining safe swallowing, or introducing AAC tools as conditions change. My goal is to support long-term quality of life for Palm Beach residents by offering consistent, compassionate care that evolves with each patient’s needs.
