Hello! I am a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist ​in CA. I have spent my career working across multiple settings ​from schools to skilled nursing, hospitals, neuro-rehab, ​subacute, teletherapy, and home health. I am deeply committed ​to supporting individuals with neurological differences, whether ​acquired or congenital. As a parent of a child who has faced ​challenges with feeding and swallowing, I understand how ​overwhelming and stressful that experience can be. This ​personal journey has provided me with a unique perspective ​that fuels my passion for helping others navigate similar ​challenges. I’m glad you have found me and I’m here for you. ​Let’s get started!

Speech Therapy Services

Initial Assessment

60-75 Mins


New clients will receive an ​evaluation before beginning ​treatment. This assessment will ​inform the area(s) of concern and ​determine an appropriate plan of ​care. After the evaluation, you will ​receive verbal results of your ​assessment and individualized ​therapy goals will be reviewed


In-home Feeding ​& swallowing ​Therapy

45-60 MINs


Swallowing therapy will be provided ​in person. Therapy focuses on safety ​and efficiency during eating ​opportunities. Parent/caregiver ​involvement is extremely important ​as they are the people most involved ​on a daily basis during mealtimes ​with their loved one. Therapy ​sessions are typically 1-2 times per ​week


*Offered exclusively in Santa Clarita

Stroke ​Rehabilitation ​Teletherapy

45-60 mins

Teletherapy is available to adult ​clients who are working towards ​post-stroke recovery. Therapy is ​always evidence-based and driven ​by the needs of the client. To ​achieve the highest level of success, ​sessions are scheduled 3-4 times per ​week. I use a HIPAA secure platform ​for our video sessions

*Offered throughout California

FAQs

Are you accepting new clients?

      • Yes! There is no wait for private therapy and no need for a MD ​referral. Please call me at (323) 237-9772 or send me an email. I ​aim to return your message within 24 hours.

Will my private information be secure?

      • Rest assured, your private health information will always be ​secure. I work through a HIPAA compliant platform which I will ​invite you to join when we decide to work together.

How long will I need therapy?

Many factors influence how quickly you will see progress, such ​as the severity of the disorder, your motivation, and consistency ​with home exercises. No two people are alike. However, my ​dedication lies in ensuring all my clients are set up for success. ​I will equip you with practical tools for everyday use.

What populations do you serve?

      • I specialize in providing individualized speech therapy to ​individuals with difficulty feeding and swallowing across the ​age-span. The populations I serve include but are not limited ​to: Autism, Down Syndrome, Stroke, Brain Injury, Coma, Trach, ​Parkinson’s Disease, ALS, Dementia. In addition, I provide ​intensive post-stroke speech, language, and cognitive ​therapy.

What if I’d like to file for out-of-​network benefits or pay with my ​HSA/FSA?

      • I am happy to provide an out-of-network guide and superbills ​to help you navigate through the process of filing your services. I ​also accept direct pay through your HSA/FSA card.

Success Speech Therapy (SST) is a private-pay practice only. At this time we are out-of-​network with ALL insurance companies.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATES

Beginning January 1, 2022, if you're uninsured or if you opt to self-pay (i.e., not going through your health insurance), health care providers must provide you with an estimate of expected charges before you get an item or ​service. This is called a good faith estimate (GFE).


Providers and facilities must provide you with a GFE if you request one or after you've scheduled a service. It should include the expected charges for all items or services that are provided as part of the same scheduled ​experience. The provider must provide a list of all items and services associated with your care.
