With over two decades of clinical experience, I specialize in voice therapy, fluency disorders, and comprehensive speech-language services for children and adults across the Shasta County area.

I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with a Master's degree from the University of Northern Colorado and over 20 years of clinical experience. I hold Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and maintain active state licensure in California.
My practice is grounded in the belief that effective communication is foundational to every aspect of life — from a child's confidence in the classroom to an adult's ability to connect with loved ones. I bring a calm, patient approach to every session, and I work closely with families, physicians, and educators to ensure coordinated, comprehensive care.
Every treatment plan begins with a thorough evaluation and is built around your unique goals, schedule, and lifestyle.
We begin with a detailed conversation to understand your concerns, communication goals, and history. This helps me determine whether a full evaluation is warranted.
Using standardized assessments, clinical observation, and caregiver/physician input, I develop a clear picture of your communication strengths and challenges.
Based on the evaluation, I design a targeted plan with measurable goals. You'll know exactly what we're working toward and how we'll track progress.
Sessions are regularly reviewed and adjusted as you advance. I maintain open communication with your family, school, and referring physician throughout the process.
Judy was incredibly patient and thorough with our son. She took the time to explain everything and gave us practical strategies we could use at home. His speech has improved dramatically, and he's so much more confident in school now.
After my stroke, I felt like I'd lost the ability to connect with my family. Judy's therapy gave me tools I use every day. She's knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly cares about her patients' outcomes.
I was referred to Judy for voice therapy after surgery, and I couldn't be happier with the results. She created a personalized plan that addressed my specific needs. I can sing again — something I never thought possible.
Whether you're seeking therapy for yourself or your child, I'd welcome the opportunity to discuss your goals. Call or email to schedule a consultation — there's no obligation, just a conversation about how I can help.
