Do you or your child have a tongue thrust, forward tongue posture, or mouth-breathing habit? Maybe you are planning an orthognathic surgery or tongue tie release.
Let's establish ideal oral resting patterns for balance of the orofacial musculature.
Swallowing & Chewing
Dysphagia

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.

Data-Driven Care. True Collaboration.
Located in Mountain View, California, Clarity Speech Therapy provides specialized, objective, and evidence-based care for individuals experiencing speech, swallowing, airway, and orofacial myofunctional dysfunction. Serving clients ages 6 to 60 across the San Francisco Bay Area/South Bay (including Palo Alto, Los Altos, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, and San Jose), I aim to bridge the gap between structural airway dynamics and neuromuscular function.
Airway Health is a Family Trait. I evaluate and treat growth anomalies (like narrow palates) alongside sleep apnea and TMJ/chewing fatigue under one expert roof. Clients across Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties typically seek care for:
- Airway Optimization: Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Sleep-Disordered Breathing, Mouth Breathing Patterns, & Low Tongue Rest Posture
- Surgical & Orthodontic Support: Pre/Post-Orthognathic Surgery, Tongue-Tie Release (Frenuloplasty), Palatal Expansion, & Orthodontic Relapse
- Chronic Orofacial Pain: TMJ Dysfunction, Masticatory Fatigue, & Myofunctional Support
Did you know that up to 99% of individuals with orofacial pain report feeding concerns—including pain, fatigue, or difficulty chewing? As a Speech-Language Pathologist with doctoral-level expertise in head and neck anatomy, I specialize in rehabilitating swallowing mechanics (dysphagia) and stabilizing oral resting posture.
Furthermore, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects up to 25 million Americans, frequently presenting with subclinical swallowing differences that respond directly to targeted tongue posture and pharyngeal strengthening. Whether you are navigating airway obstruction, chronic TMJ/facial pain, or preparing for/recovering from orthognathic surgery, I provide objective metrics to guide your care.
I believe in candid, transparent communication and interdisciplinary partnership with your physicians, sleep specialists, airway dentists, and oral surgeons. Through advanced objective assessments (i.e., mapping your metrics against clinical benchmarks), I attempt to ensure you receive a clear diagnostic picture and an efficient pathway back to function.
