Ways We Can Work Together
Supporting You Through Your Parkinson’s Journey
I offer several ways to help you strengthen your voice, thinking, swallowing, and communication to break through Parkinson’s ongoing challenges. Let’s take a look at the available options that are designed to help you stay accountable, keep your workouts consistent, and make your progress last.
First, Speech Therapy
Private sessions are offered to help boost and maintain your voice, thinking, swallowing, and communication within Parkinson’s. We typically begin with an intensive phase of 2–3 sessions per week for 4–5 weeks, giving you the structure and momentum to start strong.
At the end of this phase, weekly Speech Therapy stops and you then complete your exercises on your own (see support opportunities below). During this phase, scheduled, infrequent Speech Therapy sessions provide ongoing assessments and adjustment to the exercises.

Now, Completing Exercises on Your Own
After Speech Therapy stops, you will use your customized homework plan hopefully at least once a day. However, sometimes we need accountability to complete the exercises and to complete them correctly.
