Speech Therapy that meets your child where they are. ‍ ‍

Early childhood speech, language, and feeding therapy. In our clinic, in nature, and out in the community.

Hi, I’m Julie, a certified Speech-Language Pathologist!

Children learn to communicate through play and everyday life. That’s why, in addition to clinic sessions, I also bring therapy to playgrounds, parks, and even on horseback!

I work with all types of kids, but I am especially passionate about supporting late talkers, Autistic toddlers and pre-schoolers, and children with complex medical needs.

You have tried everything.

You’ve wondered if you did something wrong. You’ve asked people you trust, even your doctor. And you keep hearing “Give them time.”

But you know your child.

You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong, or even if anything is, before reaching out. That’s my job. We’ll decide what comes next together.

Because “wait and see” isn’t a plan.

You know your child.

I know communication.‍ ‍

Let’s figure it out, together.

“Julie has helped our daughter communicate in ways we never imagined. From introducing us to AAC and switch-adapted toys to finding creative ways for her to learn, she has opened doors we didn’t even know existed. Through it all, she has been someone our entire family can count on.”
— John D. - girl dad extraordinaire & long time Inside Voice parent

I offer personalized therapy, built around your child - their interests, their strengths, and the places they feel most comfortable. The skills they’re learning become part of everyday life- not just therapy.

Where does therapy happen?

Inside Voice offers several settings, depending on your child’s needs and the type of therapy you choose.

You don’t need to visit every location or know which setting to choose before reaching out.

Take a look at the places where we bring speech therapy to life.

Outdoor Adventures

Weather permitting, outdoor sessions work great at: ‍ ‍

All-Abilities Playground

Fresh air, movement, and endless opportunities to communicate. Outdoor sessions turn everyday play into purposeful learning experiences that don’t feel like therapy. This setting encourages language, social interaction, and communication through natural exploration. The fenced, accessible playground offers a safe and welcoming space for children of all abilities .

The Process

Reach out

Tell me what is worrying you. We’ll talk about what you’re noticing, answer initial questions and figure out the right therapy setting for your child.

Evaluate

We will start with a thorough evaluation to pinpoint your child’s strengths, identify where they need support, and determine a personalized therapy plan.

See change

Through consistent weekly sessions, we target meaningful goals in real world settings - whether that is in our clinic, in nature, or in the community. You will always know what we are working on and why.
