Who do I treat?
Therapy focuses primarily on treatment for adults with a need for neurological rehabilitation. I address cognitive-communication, speech, and language therapy. I have a passion for working with individuals who have had a stroke, suffered from a brain injury or concussion, have mild cognitive impairment, or have neurodegenerative disease diagnoses (e.g. Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA), and Dementia). Additionally, I have experience working with individuals suffering from brain fog secondary to COVID-19, as well as adults focusing on improving executive functioning skills with ADHD.
Why Choose NNST?
- Accessibility: I work to provide easily accessible services by providing telehealth services for the state of NJ. Additionally, I provide in-home outpatient services to those in Voorhees, NJ, and surrounding areas. I also have hybrid options available. Please contact us to discuss the best approach to treatment that I have available to meet your needs.
- Person-Centered: I strive to provide quality person-centered therapy that is motivating and helpful to each individual’s needs. I promote a life participation approach that leads to better outcomes and higher patient satisfaction. I work with the patient and family to identify speech, language, and/or cognitive barriers and assist with navigating options for improvement and compensation.
- Innovation: Here at NNST, I am constantly maintaining up-to-date knowledge of current research-based practices to maximize treatment outcomes and recommendations within the field. I specialize in neurological conditions impacting cognitive communication allowing me to provide the highest quality therapy in these areas. Just this past year I received the Award for Continuing Education (ACE) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) recognizing my commitment to learning by earning 7.0 CEUs (70 contact hours) within 36 months, and these hours continue to grow with each month.
Where is your office?
In Your Home: I am considered an outpatient mobile practice, which means I come to you! There is nothing more valuable than participating in therapy in the comfort of your own home. No need to worry about travel on your end. I am happy to provide functional and meaningful in-home services for Voorhees, NJ, and surrounding areas.
Virtually: Did you know that for some clients, therapy outcomes can be just as beneficial with telehealth appointments when compared to in-person? Virtual services are accessible and allow for more flexible scheduling. I provide quality telehealth services to residents in the state of New Jersey.

Do you take insurance?
Medicare Part B Provider: Navigating Neuro Speech Therapy is a certified Medicare Part B Provider for individuals that are 65 years of age or older. Medicare Part B covers 80% of medically necessary skilled services. Following Medicare payment, the remaining cost is sent to your secondary insurance payer.
Private Pay Options: At this time, I am considered out of network for additional insurance policies. I offer private pay options for individuals under 65 that do not have traditional Medicare benefits or for individuals who want to continue to receive specialized treatment beyond the services considered medically necessary by Medicare. When beginning treatment, you’ll receive a good faith estimate (GFE) so that pricing is transparent. A credit card remains on file and is charged on the day of treatment.
Out of Network Insurance: If you decide to continue with private pay options, we are happy to provide you with a monthly invoice (super bill) for you to submit to your insurance for out of network coverage. This will have the codes on it that your insurance company will need for out-of-network benefits. Please be advised that many health insurance plans have limited coverage for speech-language pathology services. It is recommended that you contact your insurance company to discuss the benefits and limits of your policy.

Feel free to reach out to me as needed so I can better guide you and provide you with the necessary CPT codes to obtain the most accurate information from your insurance provider.
What are the benefits of private pay options?
The wonderful part of private pay treatment is that there are NO insurance constraints and treatment has more flexibility to be even more client focused. Less time is required to meet insurance standards allowing treatment to be fully under our control. YOU are the one in charge. YOU can call more of the shots. We are allowed to pivot more easily within and between sessions based on your wants and needs for communication.
What is your cancellation policy?
I request that you provide 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel your appointment to allow me to appropriately adjust my schedule. Once you are on the schedule, that time is reserved just for you. I realize there are extenuating circumstances and allow for 1 last minute cancellation. If cancellations persist, I reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee of $50 to the card that is on file. If you need to cancel your appointment because of illness or a true emergency, please do not hesitate to let me know, and I can always discuss your specific situation.
