Meet Your Speech Therapist

Hi! I’m Nan, a licensed speech therapist and the face behind this humble speech therapy practice that happens to be my dream job. Not only am I privileged to connect with people from all walks of life, but—over and over again—I get to watch my patients reclaim their confidence as they improve their communication skills and live more fulfilling lives. 

I have over thirty years of experience working with a wide variety of communication and cognitive disorders. I have worked in settings as diverse as rehabilitation institutes, hospitals, nursing homes, home health, and high schools. I also have a strong background in psychology, natural health, and brain fitness.

My passion is working with people who are recovering from mild or debilitating strokes or head trauma, are experiencing decreased cognitive skills, or are struggling with word finding. My motives are simple: to help you communicate effectively again and provide a fun and safe space to achieve that goal.

I enjoy working with individuals as well as leading dynamic groups to improve communication, attention, memory, problem solving, and connection with others. My philosophy is to treat the whole person and my intent is to encourage each of my patients to reach their full potential.

My passion for working with cognitive deficits has led me to create my own brain fitness classes for prevention.

When I'm not working, I love to...

-dance (salsa dancing is my favorite)
-walk to the beach with my golden retriever
-hang out with my two beautiful girls
-hike, travel, or go on fun-filled road trips
