Introduction

Hi, I’m Sarah, a speech-language pathologist based in Oakland with over 10 years of experience helping individuals communicate with confidence and clarity. I specialize in supporting adults with speech, voice, and professional communication challenges, including in home health and executive coaching settings. I also have extensive experience working with children with speech sound disorders and childhood apraxia of speech, though my current focus is on serving adult clients. Throughout my career, I’ve held leadership and supervisory roles, mentoring clinicians and shaping therapy programs. My approach is warm, engaging, and tailored to each client’s unique needs, making therapy both effective and empowering. I strive to find strategies that are meaningful and practical for everyday life. I’d love to learn more about your goals and how I can help—please reach out to connect!

I am a speech-language pathologist with experience supporting clients across the lifespan.

My approach is individualized, meeting each person where they are and tailoring strategies to their unique needs. I would love to connect and explore how I can support your communication goals.

    Beaming Review

    Sarah does a good job of balancing having fun and also getting a lot done. She has a systematic way of approaching sessions and has a great rapport with kids. She was lovely to work with and shared a lot of tips! I would most definitely refer a family to her.
