Support for Clear Speech and Confident Communication
My therapy approach is personalized to each individual child, focusing on both communication skills and the underlying patterns that support them. I provide in person speech-therapy services for children in Champaign-Urbana, Effingham, and Teutopolis and via teletherapy across the state of Illinois.
Speech Therapy
Support for speech, language, and overall communication—tailored to each individual’s needs.
Speech Sound Therapy (Articulation)
Support for producing sounds clearly and consistently, improving overall speech clarity.
Language Development
Helping children understand and use language more effectively in everyday situations.
Stuttering & Fluency
Practical strategies for smoother, more comfortable communication.
AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication)
Support for alternative ways to communicate, based on individual needs.
Autism Spectrum Support
Individualized therapy that supports communication, interaction, and regulation.
Myofacial Therapy
This work focuses on how the muscles of the mouth, tongue, and face function—and how those patterns impact speech, eating, and breathing.
Challenges in these areas can show up as:
Unclear or inconsistent speech
Difficulty chewing or swallowing
Mouth breathing or open-mouth posture
Reduced coordination of the tongue and lips
By improving these underlying patterns, therapy supports clearer speech, more efficient eating, and better overall function.
A More Complete Approach
Speech and communication challenges are sometimes linked to how the mouth and breathing patterns are functioning.
By addressing both communication skills and these underlying patterns, therapy can be more effective—and progress is more likely to last.
