Pediatric Speech Therapy
In portland, Oregon
Helping toddlers, children, and teenscommunicate with confidence through fun, individualized speech therapy.
Whether your child isn't talking yet, is difficult to understand, has trouble following directions, or gets stuck on words, I’d love to help.
Is your child…
Not talking as much as other children their age?
Difficult for others to understand?
Getting frustrated when trying to communicate?
Stuttering or repeating sounds?
Having trouble following directions?
Struggling to make friends because communication feels hard?
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
If you've answered "yes" to any of these questions, I'd love to learn more about your child and help you decide whether speech-language therapy is the right next step.

Why families choose express yourself
Speech therapy is about more than improving speech—it's about helping children feel confident, capable, and excited to communicate. Here's what families can expect when they work with me.
-
Children learn best when they're engaged, having fun, and building meaningful relationships.
-
Every child is different, so therapy is built around your child's strengths, interests, and goals.
-
You'll leave each session with practical ideas you can use at home.
-
My goal isn't just better speech—it's helping children feel confident communicating in everyday life.
