Communication is perhaps the most valuable ability we possess as human beings. As a speech-language pathologist, I find an incredible amount of joy in helping people communicate and connect with others. I believe that speech therapy should be a very empowering experience, and I understand that it requires trust and connection. My commitment is to provide my clients with the expert guidance needed to meet their goals, while supporting them with a loving heart.
Allison immediately puts clients at ease with her kindness and caring demeanor, and her passion for her work is obvious. Her sessions are filled with encouragement and positivity." -C.T. Experience and Education
I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of Texas. Over the course of my career, I have worked with children and adults in public and private school, rehabilitation, and private practice. As a life-long learner, I prioritize staying current with new research and treatment approaches. I have contributed to research with Dr. Courtney Byrd in the field of stuttering and have compiled a clinician’s guidebook for promoting transfer and maintenance of speech skills in school-aged children who stutter. |
