Empower Your Voice, Embrace Your Confidence
Children, Adolescents & Adults
I am a Speech-Language Pathologist specialized in stuttering (childhood and adult fluency disorders) and voice placement and vocal development.
For over 15 years, I have helped children, adolescents, and adults communicate with confidence, clarity, and emotional safety.
My work goes beyond techniques. I treat the person behind the speech.
Our Approach
My Exclusive Therapeutic Method
Over the years, I have developed my own therapeutic method, based on clinical experience, neuroscience, and evidence-based speech therapy.
This method was created to treat both the speech symptoms and the emotional experience of speaking, which is essential for long-term results.
It is not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Each therapy plan is personalized, structured, and goal-oriented.
What Makes My Method Different
✔ Integrates speech fluency techniques with emotional regulation
✔ Addresses the root causes, not just the symptoms
✔ Adapted for children, adolescents, and adults
✔ Focuses on confidence, autonomy, and communication identity
✔ Designed for real-life speaking situations, not only therapy rooms
This approach helps clients speak with greater ease, stability, and confidence, even in challenging social or professional contexts.
A Holistic and Effective Approach
My method works on three essential levels:
1. Speech and Motor Control
Techniques to improve speech timing, coordination, and fluency, reducing blocks, tension, and effort.
2. Emotional and Cognitive Regulation
Strategies to reduce fear, anticipation, and avoidance behaviors commonly associated with stuttering and voice difficulties.
3. Voice and Presence
Development of healthy voice placement, breath support, and vocal projection, allowing speech to sound natural, confident, and expressive.
Proven Through Clinical Practice
This method has been refined through years of clinical practice with children, adolescents, and adults, including international clients.
The goal is not “perfect speech” —
the goal is effective, confident, and authentic communication.
Why It Works
Because speech is not only mechanical.
It is neurological, emotional, and relational.
When all these systems work together, fluency and vocal confidence naturally improve.
