Introduction

I'm Hannah, a speech therapist based in the Cow Hollow neighborhood in San Francisco. I've worked with clients ages 12 months through 40 years of age in my 13 years as a licensed SLP. My areas of experience include early intervention, gestalt language processing, childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), speech sound disorders, phonological disorders, developmental language disorder (DLD) and stuttering. My hobbies including deflecting requests from my own children, ages 8 and 10, caring for family dog (and other dog, and snails, and fish, and crab, and worms...and shrimp...), planning our next trip, managing Google calendars, maintaining my Duolingo streak (Day 938) and trying to optimize on sleep. I have an undergraduate degree in Human Biology (minor in Communications) from Stanford University and completed my graduate degree in Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences at San Diego State University.

What words would you use to describe yourself?

Personable
Responsive
Thoughtfully Analytical
My personable style helps me connect with clients and families, creating a warm, relaxed and supportive environment. I take a responsive approach to therapy, adapting each interaction to fit the individual needs of my clients and thinking creatively about how to make learning enjoyable and effective. I approach new and complex cases with curiosity, and rely on my analytical skills to evaluate data while also remaining empathetic, thoughtful and aware of our shared humanness.

Who are you best positioned to serve?

I best support preschool-age and early elementary children with phonological disorders and developmental language disorder. I enjoy working with young children with delayed language skills, and those who are gestalt language processors, and collaborating with their families and caregivers. I also have experience working with people who stutter, including using the Lidcombe Program for children under age 6, and advanced training in DTTC, a treatment approach for children with childhood apraxia of speech.

    We LOVE Hannah! It's a team effort to help our daughter. She went from saying less than 10 words at 19 months to more than 75 words at 23 months. We continue to make progress and learn new techniques to help teach our daughter.

    Hannah established a great rapport with my daughter and supported her significant progress. She ensures my daughter excels at a function prior to moving to the next stage. She sets clear boundaries and provides an approachable structure and framework. She also collaborates well with other STs on my daughter’s care

    Ms. Hannah has been an absolute godsend. We have seen our child’s speech improve by leaps and bounds in the less than 1 year she has been with Ms. Hannah. We have been so happy with how responsive she is to our concerns and how encouraging she has been to our family. She has seen the potential for improvement and drawn the best out of our child. We have appreciated how she has explained to us our child’s progress and what they are working on so that we can also practice at home. Her methods are engaging and kept our special needs kiddo interested more than other providers she had worked with. Would wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Hannah to anyone whose child needs speech therapy, our kiddo has enjoyed her time with Ms. Hannah so much!

    We have seen many speech therapists over the years for our son and Hannah rises as the best of the best. She took us on during the pandemic when we were getting zero services from SFUSD. She was flexible and found ways to provide ST in a virtual environment for us. Once things opened up again, we were so happy to have in person as an option as that really provides the most value for our kiddo. We've stayed with her for years because our son has really bonded with Hannah and she provides the consistency in his life that he needs that he doesn't get through school speech therapists. He's grown leaps and bounds with the help of Hannah and we are so grateful to her for all she has done. Would highly, highly recommend Hannah if you are in need of ST for your kiddo!

    HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! My daughter has been seeing Hannah at Talk Shop Speech Therapy for a few years and her improvements are incredible. Hannah is an amazing speech therapist, is extremely knowledgeable, and obviously incredible with kids. My wife and I could not have asked for a better speech therapist with the best methods and deep understanding of her field and how to work with kids. To top it all off, her office is perfectly located in an incredibly magical place for little ones with conveniences nearby for awaiting parents. We are so happy we found Hannah!

    Beaming Review

    We had the pleasure of working with Hannah after my then 4-year-old son was first diagnosed with an articulation disorder. My son can be a little shy and can be nervous around new people. Hannah immediately got down to his level and made him feel comfortable. My son looked forward to his weekly time with "Teacher Hannah." In the three months we worked with Hannah, we saw a definite improvement in my son's speech/articulation and confidence. She was very committed to my son and his needs. Not only was Hannah a gem with my son, she was professional and personal with me as well. We were sad to leave Hannah when we moved!
