Gender Affirming Voice Therapy

Individuals who are transitioning may elect to have voice and communication therapy to help them use their voice in a safe and authentic way.

We provide voice and communication training and look at a variety of aspects of communication, including vocal pitch, intonation and resonance, and nonverbal communication.

Assessment will involve the collection of a case history and medical history, and assessment of voice and language. It is important for us to eliminate any vocal abusive behaviors resulting from changes in pitch and volume, which can lead to voice problems.

In therapy we will focus on the following:

 

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by the voice. Trained as a classical soprano, I performed in concert and musical theater before discovering a passion for teaching others to sing. My curiosity about the voice and speech mechanism led me back to school, and since 2007 I’ve worked as a speech pathologist and voice coach. It’s deeply rewarding to unite my training to help others heal, speak, breathe, sing, and communicate with greater freedom.

I draw on broad training in voice and speech techniques and hold certifications in related therapies. Because every person’s needs are unique, I listen carefully and use my experience, training, science, and intuition to choose the most effective approach.

I’d love to help you reach your personal and professional goals. Please explore my site and reach out if I can support you on your journey.
