Speech pathology services for people who think, live, and communicate differently.
training and support for developing your authentic voice in a safe way, using evidence-based techniques
If you have a GP Management Plan, you may be eligible for up to 5 Medicare rebated voice training sessions. The initial intake session goes for 1 hour, where we get to know each other, take voice measures, and collaborate on your goals and expectations. Subsequent training sessions go for 45 minutes. In-person sessions are preferable for optimal acoustic perception, but telehealth is also an option. Evening or Saturday appointments are available.
evidence-based support for professional voice users (actors, singers, teachers, podcasters, etc.)
If using your voice is an integral part of your profession or passion, maintaining your instrument's health is essential. I can help with evidence-based techniques to prevent vocal fatigue, improve voice quality, and alleviate strain. As a speech pathologist with a background in theatre and choral performance, I am able to use cross-disciplinary terminology and techniques while drawing upon best clinical practices and evidence. 1 hour initial intake/consult with recommendations for further sessions discussed on a case-by-case basis.
speech, language, and communication support for neurodivergent people of all ages
Neurodivergent (ND) communication often looks, sounds, and feels different from neurotypical (NT) communication. I firmly believe that all communication is valid, and ND people should not be required to conform to NT communication styles and standards. I offer services for NDIS/ECA plan- and self-managed participants, HCWA participants, or privately funded clients. NDIS pricing guides apply for all services, which can be delivered in the community or via telehealth. I will not be able to provide NIDA-managed services.
My Approach
We're in this together.
​
You are the expert on your own voice, identity, goals, and dreams. I am here to get to know you, help you identify your strengths, collaborate with you, and support you using evidence-based therapies tailored for your unique way of thinking, living, and communicating.
​
I strive to practice in ways that are neurodiversity-affirming, gender diversity-affirming, client-led, family-centred, strengths-based, and culturally safe.
​
I meet you where you're at and will advocate for your needs in the community, whether that be with your family, educators, employers, or service providers. I aim to help you find solutions that work for you, to gain or maintain access to supports, and to work towards goals that are meaningful and valuable to you.
