Testimonials
Anne has been an absolute godsend for our family! We have been working with her for over two years now, and we don’t know where we’d be without her help. Not only has she helped our twins become verbal, but she also helped my husband and I make the necessary changes and given us tips on how to expand our children’s learning and growing. We have had many other speech therapists, and I would absolutely recommend Anne above all. We are so grateful to have found her! -Brooke
Anne is absolutely amazing. She has been working with my triplets for 3 years. They went from non-verbal to talking up a storm. She is so kind and great with the kids. I highly recommend her for speech therapy for anyone who's kids need help. - Jadee

I love my career as a Speech Language Pathologist and working with children helping them achieve their communication goals. Every child's needs are different and working together with families to meet the individual needs of each child is what I am passionate about. Reach out today for a free consultation to see if an in-person or teletherapy service will work for you.
Originally from upstate New York, I began working with special needs children in high school, supporting them during their community outings. I received my bachelors degree in Communication Disorders from Brigham Young University, during which I gained years of experience working with adults with special needs. My masters degree in Speech Pathology was obtained from the University of Utah. I have been working as a Speech Language Pathologist for 14 years.
After finishing my degrees, I moved to Arizona and worked in the public schools grades K-8 for three years. I then transitioned to teletherapy working for 6 years in both the school setting and the private practice setting. I have also worked the past 10 years in both the clinic and home based setting with pediatrics ages 2-21. I have experience working with Autism, Down Syndrome, language delays, speech and phonological delays, fluency disorders and social pragmatic language delays. I am a NLA trained clinician educated in the Natural Language Acquisition framework and gestalt language processing.
