We want to provide the best Orofacial Myofunctional therapy and speech services by empowering patients and their families through education.
Angela began her journey in Speech Language Pathology at Vanderbilt University where she was granted access to graduate level courses as an undergrad student. She then obtained her Masters Degree at New York Medical College. She has been Certified in Orofacial Myology by the International Association of Orofacial Myology and continues to excel as a Speech-Language Pathologist and Feeding Therapist. Angela is a member of both the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and the International Association of Orofacial Myology (IAOM).
Angela’s areas of expertise include Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders, pediatric feeding and motor speech disorders such as Apraxia and Dysarthria. She has obtained specialized training in PROMPT, Beckman Oral Motor, and TalkTools with a focus on sensory motor approaches for apraxia of speech and feeding therapy.
Collaboration with other professionals such as Otolaryngologists, Pediatric Dentists, Orthodontists and Oral Surgeons is key to Angela’s successful treatment plans that are both efficient and attainable for her clients. She is bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish, giving her a broader reach toward clientele in Spanish speaking communities.
Angela’s fun and relaxed approach to therapy is appreciated by clients of all ages! When therapy is fun instead of boring or stressful, clients can easily learn skills that many of us take for granted such as breathing correctly or communicating effortlessly. Angela loves a good superhero or sci-fi movie, loves traveling and experiencing other cultures, and she especially loves getting in touch with her Latina roots out on the dance floor!
