Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. I work as a speech-language pathologist or as a registered psychotherapist, one professional role at a time, based on your goals. That role shapes how we set goals, track progress, and document our work. When we're doing voice work, I'm tuned into what is happening emotionally. When we're doing psychotherapy, your body and your voice are part of the work. Some clients work in one area only. Some transition over time. We decide together.

  • No. If something doesn't feel right with your voice, breathing, swallowing, or emotional wellbeing, that is enough reason to reach out.

    That said, having an ear nose and throat specialist assess your vocal folds before or early in therapy is helpful. It rules out structural factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.

    If you have not yet seen an ENT and are unsure how to access one, we can start sessions and create a plan to get you there.

  • You don't need to know in advance. We figure it out together based on what you are experiencing and what you want.

  • We review your history and what brought you here. For voice therapy, I assess your breath, your voice, and how you relate to both. Baseline measures are taken. We do trial therapy to see how your voice responds, and you leave with exercises and a home practice plan.

    For psychotherapy, we review your history, explore what you are experiencing, and begin to identify where to focus first. You will leave with a clear sense of what we are working on and why.
