People of all ages can experience difficulty producing certain speech sounds clearly, making them hard to understand. This may involve substituting one sound for another, leaving sounds out, or distorting sounds โ affecting confidence, social interactions, and daily communication.
Laura uses evidence-based approaches to help clients produce sounds accurately and improve their overall intelligibility. Therapy is engaging, functional, and tailored to each person's age and learning style.
Speech-language pathologists play a critical role in supporting individuals with literacy challenges. Laura is certified through the Orton-Gillingham Academy, equipping her to deliver structured, multisensory literacy instruction to individuals with dyslexia, reading delays, and related language-based learning differences โ from school-age children through adults.
The Orton-Gillingham approach is the gold-standard, research-backed method for teaching reading and spelling. It engages visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile pathways simultaneously to reinforce learning and build lasting skills.
Language encompasses the ability to understand what we hear and read (receptive) and use language to communicate our thoughts and needs (expressive). Delays or disorders in either area can affect the ability to learn, form relationships, and participate fully in daily life โ at any age.
Laura specializes in building vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, narrative skills, and social communication โ supporting clients from early talkers and school-age children through adults navigating complex language needs.
Your voice is a core part of how you communicate and express yourself. Voice therapy addresses a wide range of concerns โ from vocal strain and hoarseness to helping individuals whose voice doesn't feel like their own. Laura provides compassionate, individualized voice care for clients of all backgrounds and identities.
For transgender and gender-expansive individuals, Laura offers gender-affirming voice training to help develop a voice that feels authentic and aligned with personal identity โ including work on pitch, resonance, intonation, and communication style.
Laura provides speech-language therapy in both English and Spanish, making her uniquely equipped to serve bilingual individuals and families of all ages. She has a deep understanding of the normal process of dual-language acquisition โ and can distinguish a true language disorder from typical bilingual development.
It is a common myth that bilingualism causes language delays. Laura's approach is culturally humble and person-centered, honoring each client's home language as a core part of their identity and development.
Stuttering can affect confidence, social participation, and willingness to communicate โ for children and adults alike. Laura provides evidence-based fluency therapy that addresses both the speech behaviors and the emotional experience of stuttering, helping clients communicate with greater ease and confidence.
Early intervention is especially important for young children who are beginning to stutter, and Laura also works with adolescents and adults who have lived with fluency challenges for years and are ready to reclaim their voice.
