Have you never been able to swallow pills easily? Maybe you “graduated” from swallowing therapy but still have challenges with specific foods or textures or have facial pain that prevents easy chewing.
Eating is part of our everyday life, from coffee with friends to celebrations with family.
Let’s make your life easier and swallow safer.

The difference is clear!
Here at Clarity Speech Therapy it is my mission to ensure high quality speech therapy for all persons with orofacial pain, orofacial myofunctional disorders, and sleep disordered breathing.
Up to 99% of people with orofacial pain report at least one symptom of feeding concerns (e.g., difficulty, pain, or fatigue chewing or avoiding specific foods)? Speech pathologists have graduate-level education focused on how to treat swallowing disorders (also known as dysphagia).
According to the National Healthy Sleep Awareness Project, up to 25 million Americans have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This airway disorder has been shown to have subclinical swallowing differences that respond to therapy for oral resting posture, oral and pharyngeal strengthening, commonly called “orofacial myofunctional therapy.” As experts in the anatomy and physiology of the head and neck, speech pathologists are in prime position to help. Many people with OSA will undergo various orthodontic and surgical procedure, I will be here to guide and support you and your team to ensure that you return to function as quickly as possible.
Advocacy and collaboration are vital to a successful therapeutic relationship, meaning brave and open communication with clearly defined goals from start to finish. All clients should feel empowered through education, research-based tasks, and affirming treatment. To accomplish this, we will complete an in-depth assessment to determine if we have captured the complete picture before starting treatment.
I want to help you achieve your goals, whatever they may be: oral resting posture, chewing/swallowing, healing from trauma or surgery.
Let me know how I can support you!
