My mission to make aphasia resources accessible to everyone
I've been a speech-language pathologist for 10+ years, working in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and community programs. For the last 9 years, I've specialized in aphasia. It has always fascinated me. Not in a detached, clinical way – but because language is so deeply human.
The way we connect, express ourselves, and make sense of the world all happens through words. When that gets disrupted, everything changes.​​​
Most people have never heard of aphasia until it affects them or someone they love. And when that moment comes, it's overwhelming. You're dealing with a medical crisis, processing what happened, and trying to figure out what comes next – all while navigating a system that wasn't built with you in mind.​
I've seen it over and over: families leave the hospital with more questions than answers. They wait months for a speech therapy appointment. And when they finally get in? Insurance only covers a session or two per week.
​​​It shouldn't be this hard. You shouldn't have to fight for basic support or wonder if you're doing enough at home. And you definitely shouldn't feel alone in this.​
Here's what I believe: communication is a basic human right. And everyone deserves access to quality resources – regardless of their circumstances.
