TYPES OF SUPPORT
Since 2004, I've been providing high quality speech therapy for individuals with TBI. Frequently clients feel misunderstood or dismissed, and so I use a coaching model, creating a two-way partnership keeping you in the driver's seat. The brain can change and heal at any point post-injury. You let me know where you are struggling, and we work together to figure out how to help. Because I teach and provide services, I know the current literature on what works for rehab, and importantly, what does not. Please reach out for a free consultation to see if I can provide the help you need.
CONCUSSIONÂ REHAB
Every concussion is different, but client many needs are the same: validation, understanding of the injury, and care directed at real-world challenges. Communication needs are often misunderstood and overlooked in mild TBI. Changes in memory, planning and organization are common and there is therapy for this! We will also work together to improve your independence with written and face-to-face communication.
REHAB & ADVOCACY SERVICES FORÂ STUDENTS WITH TBI
School is based on successful communication: reading, writing, and describing ideas. Equally important is the language of social communication - understanding cafeteria lingo and current TikTok trends. The data is clear that educators want to help students with TBI, but typically don't know how. I can provide both therapy services for school survival and advocacy to ensure your students has the supports they need.
SPEECH-LANGUAGE-COGNITIVE THERAPY
Changes in communication occur after many types of neurologic disorders, not only concussion. As a former CU Medical School faculty member, trained at Craig Hospital, I have expertise in rehabilitation for moderate-severe TBIs and stroke. I also love working with less common diagnoses such as right hemisphere disorders and primary progressive aphasia, where it may be challenging to find an experienced clinician.
