MY MISSION
My mission is to improve the overall well-being of individuals living with brain injuries. I strive to create an integrative treatment plan in collaboration with clients and their families. I firmly believe that we can always make improvements, no matter how long it has been since your injury. I want to help my clients feel confident in their communication get them back to doing what they love with personalized rehabilitation.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
M.D, care partner
"Lorelei has been working with my wife for the past 3 months and I could not be happier with her service. Not only is she a great speech therapist who has helped with the expected language support and swallowing progression, but she has helped in so many other ways. She has provided general support for our home care, given us excellent resources for ongoing care, and given insight for upcoming doctors appointments. Lorelei is reliable with appointments, communicates as needed, and is very flexible. Finding a speech therapist was difficult, but I am so pleased that we found Lorelei and look forward to continue working with with her."
V.M, Client
"Ariella helped me when I was in bad shape from a severe concussion. She gave me the confidence to get back to work after two years had passed and I had lost all self esteem. My processing speed is improving every day. I am beyond grateful for Ariella’s kindness and support."
R.S, family member
"Ariella has been incredible to work with! Highly recommend her services! We hired Ariella after my dad had Aphasia from a stroke. He had worked with other speech therapist but was not having success. Ariella customized her approach to make each session specific to him. She put in the extra effort to research his company, his family and his interests so that they would work on words and phrases that are relevant to his life. Ariella truly cared about my dad and his success, she even set up a family session so we could understand what he was going through and teach us ways that we could help. One of my dad's goals was to be able to give his speech at my wedding and they worked together for months on perfecting it (and it was perfect!) The progress he has made while working with Ariella is amazing, we are now able to have full conversations with him and everyone we run into says they can understand everything he says! We are so grateful for Ariella!"
COGNITION
After a brain injury, people often experience lingering symptoms that make their day-to-day more challenging. These higher level thinking skills are critical for getting things done and being independent. Whether it’s remembering to take your medications, cooking dinner, getting to appointments on time, or getting back to school, these cognitive skills play a major role.

COMMUNICATION
Communication is critical for getting the help you need, ensuring your thoughts are heard, and connecting in a meaningful way with others. The clarity of your speech, the sound of your voice, and the words you choose to say can be impacted by a brain injury. Often, the way you understand and process language is affected as well. Speech and language disorders seen after a brain injury include:
-
Aphasia
-
Apraxia
-
Dysarthria
-
Voice disorders (including Dysphonia, Vocal Fold Paralysis)
-
Word finding difficulties
