Stuttering Therapy
“Since I started with you, I view it as more of a thing that I do rather than a problem that I have”
JL client
“Over four months of working with Ana, her sessions have dramatically shifted how I view my speech. She is incredibly knowledgeable in her practice and she does a great job of teaching in stages that allows for steady and manageable growth. Her mindset and approach to stuttering has been an entirely new concept to me, and it is one I strongly recommend for others. Embrace her sessions with an open mind and long term outlook, and you will undoubtedly experience the benefits.”
BS client
“…he mentioned how incredible it's been working with you, how much you understand him and how helpful it's been for him -especially compared to his speech therapy experiences in the past.”
AS stuttering advocate
"Being able to implement the mantras we created and reframing the internal discussion around stuttering has made a tremendous difference since we started working together. At first, I was a little nervous since we weren't meeting consistently, but it also allowed me to hone in and really embrace the strategies that weve worked on. Thank you once again for all of your help, and I appreciate the resources that you continually send. It's a goal of mine to make it to a Green Social one of these days."

“It makes a big change in my life. In my relationship with others and in my relationship with myself.”

Professional Learning
“This is a great resource for SLPs looking for understanding and guidance on how to provide neuroaffirming care for people who stutter. I loved the blend of neuroscience and real life application for stuttering evaluation and therapy.”
NL Speech-Language Pathologist
“Ana’s “Why Stuttering Matters” presentation was SO amazing and full of valuable information. I took so many notes during the presentation and left with some amazing ideas for therapy. Her expertise and the depth of her knowledge on stuttering/how the brain works, were evident throughout, and I can’t believe that we were not taught this type of information in grad school. I highly recommend Ana’s presentation to any SLP who is looking to learn more stuttering, the current approaches to stuttering, and anyone who is looking to become an advocate for stuttering.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!”
VG, Speech-Language Pathologist
“Ana has been a great speech therapist. She is very attentive and explains everything to you thoroughly. I feel comfortable during our sessions and feel better about my stutter. I have a long way to go but I know with Ana's help, 'll get there. It's very hard to come across a Speech Therapist who helps adults, and I'm glad I came across Ana.”
XR client
“I wanted to let you know that I absolutely loved it! I really loved how you talked about neuroscience and neuroplasticity up front and kept coming back to that when presenting new ideas. I had other take aways about stuttering, but I think because one of the hardest things I run up against in general in my practice is old ideas or myths, I love that I have neuroscience I can use to explain why people might react or get angry when presenting them with new ways of thinking. So thank you for sharing your work and using neuroscience to back it up! I really enjoyed it and I look forward to more content from you!!”
LC Speech-Language Pathologist
“I loved this presentation so much I wanted to thank you for this. I'm an SLP as well and my son is 9 years old and a stutterer. This presentation was very helpful for me … I really like how you talked about praising his communication in all forms, whether he stutters or not. It spoke to me and I want to help my son to establish strong neural pathways like you describe, and keep building him up and supporting his confidence… thank you!
LR Parent, Speech-Language Pathologist
“ I LOVE your perspective on how traditional therapy is stressful for the brain. Also love your incorporation on the nervous system and stuttering. It is so evident that this presentation is the culmination of research, your clinical expertise, and your personal experiences. From one therapist to another: well done!”
