I really appreciate the notes from each session and Nora’s fantastic communication and willingness to answer my questions. Thank you so much!
Nora has worked with our daughter for several years, and she is terrific!

A Note from Nora
Speech therapy is not just a job for me; it's a calling.
I am deeply committed to helping each child unlock their unique voice and discover the joy of effective communication. Witnessing the transformation in a child's confidence and ability to express themselves is nothing short of magical.
I believe in the immense potential within every child, and my goal is to create a therapeutic environment that fosters growth, resilience, and a love for communication. Whether we're working on articulation, language development, or reading comprehension, I approach each session with enthusiasm and a commitment to tailoring interventions to meet the specific needs of the child.
I understand the importance of collaboration with parents and caregivers. Your involvement is not only welcome but crucial to the success of our shared journey. Together, we form a supportive team dedicated to nurturing and empowering your child.
It brings me immense joy to witness the small victories – the first clear pronunciation of a challenging sound, the confident expression of thoughts, and the strengthening of social communication skills. These moments reinforce my belief in the profound impact speech therapy can have on a child's life.
