What People Are Saying
Victoria is a wonderful therapist. She is friendly, kind, patient, and insightful.

“Victoria has been more than a speech therapist for our spunky 4 year old, she’s been a friend. Her approach of combining playful tactics with speech exercises has been so helpful, and easy to emulate in our home. Her kind energy allowed our son to be immediately comfortable. He looks forward to his appointments each week with Ms. Victoria, who he calls his “play doctor”. For my husband and I, she has been supportive, excellent at coaching us on the skills, and very available. We appreciate her very much!”
— Jamie V.
“Finding help for my son who stutters felt impossible, until I found Victoria. Her knowledge and compassion is unmatched. I drive an hour and a half each way so my son can get the best help possible. I am so proud of the progress he continues to make. I can not say enough about how grateful I feel to have found her.”

It's been amazing working with Victoria over the past six months. As a young adult navigating how to live with my stutter has improved immensely since seeing Victoria. Our weekly sessions are based on my needs, and structured in a way that breaks down the negative/embarrassing feelings of stuttering. Victoria is supportive, pays attention to detail, and challenges me to grow. As someone who has been stuttering their whole life, I'm beyond thankful for finding Victoria and continuing to work towards better outcomes! Can't wait for our next session!
— Isabella C.

I look forward to my sessions every week, and I thank Victoria for her dedication and commitment to my progress.”

— Matt G.
“We were lucky enough to be referred to Victoria for help in the area of stuttering and a specific issue of something called cluttering. This specialty is not all that common and so we were extremely grateful to find her, as her expertise includes this area. We immediately felt comfortable with Victoria! She spent a lot of time discussing her experience and the issues we were seeing with our son in order to validate we were going down the right path. She then invited us for a formal and thorough evaluation and she was able to confidently diagnose through this extensive upfront interview and testing. Our son felt so very at ease with her; she was patient, kind, smart, positive and meticulous. She invested a good deal of time reviewing the report of her findings and came up with a solid and realistic treatment plan to address the issue. In person and virtual meetings have been very convenient and effective, and he really looks forward to his meetings with her. We have already seen improvement in terms not only around awareness of the issue but also perhaps more importantly, strategies he is starting to put into action. We are currently at a pivotal point with treatment, and we just couldn't be more appreciative of Victoria's work and grateful that we found her. Her professionalism and knowledge, her approach and her communicative and informative style makes her an incredible therapist. “
