About

Meet Melissa

Hi, I'm Melissa! I'm an ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist with more than a decade of public-school speech-pathology experience.

I am eager to incorporate literature, games, and music into my creative therapy sessions. I have experience treating speech sound disorders, receptive and expressive language delays, fluency disorders/stuttering, social and pragmatic language skills, and facilitating the use of AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication).

I am passionate about the growth of communication skills in the lives of children and teens.

Outside of therapy

I live in Charlottesville, Virginia and love fall-time bonfires, kickboxing, reading, thrifting and spending time with my daughters and husband.

Reviews

What families are saying

5.0 out of 5 · 3 verified families

  • “We were nervous about starting therapy, but our first session put us at ease. Patient, kind, and great at explaining what we can do at home — we noticed progress within a few weeks.”

    Verified parent

  • “Sessions feel like play to our daughter, but every single one ends with a clear takeaway for us as parents. We feel like real partners in her progress, not just bystanders.”

    Verified parent

  • “Warm, organized, and on top of insurance from day one. They made what felt overwhelming feel doable. Our son actually asks when his next visit is.”
