Our approach

Evidence-based programs rooted in neuroscience and clinical expertise

I’ve spent over a decade as a clinical speech-language pathologist, supporting clients in rebuilding their cognitive-communication skills to foster greater independence and joy in their lives. Over time, my work has expanded to help individuals from all backgrounds strengthen their communication and brain health through personalized, 1:1 expert services.

Communication Coaching

Our communication coaching program helps you develop a speaking style that feels natural and genuine, highlighting your unique strengths while addressing any areas of concern. Together, we might work on rate of speech, pitch, vocal intensity, dialect, or clarity and conciseness, all while helping you cultivate a warm, engaging, and authentic presence.

At Carefree Speech, we also specialize in reducing speaking anxiety, for both professional and personal contexts. While you may not have a formal clinical speech-language diagnosis, you will be matched with a professional with extensive, graduate-level training in communication sciences.

Cognitive Coaching and Rehabilitation

If you have been experiencing challenges after a recent diagnosis, such as a brain injury, ADHD, long-Covid, or hormonal changes, we provide clinical and coaching services to address the cognitive changes that may occur.

Even major life events or excessive stress can result in feelings of brain fog or suboptimal cognitive functioning.

These challenges may include changes in memory, attention, problem-solving, or word-finding, and these often result in frustration and a reduced quality of life. As a brain health clinician and experienced executive function coach, I specialize in providing services that are holistic, functional, and effective, rooted in a strengths-based, supportive approach.
