Hi, I'm Anna, the founder of Aura Speech.

My path to speech therapy started long before grad school. I watched someone I love struggle to communicate, and then watched speech therapy change their world entirely. Seeing that transformation up close, the confidence, the relief, the connection that followed, is what led me to this field, and it's still what drives how I practice today.

I'm a licensed and ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist with eight years of experience across school, home health, clinic, and tele-therapy settings. Over the years I've supported children with expressive and receptive language delays, articulation and speech sound disorders, and complex communication needs, including implementing AAC for children who needed another way to be heard. I provide therapy in two languages, so families never have to choose between being understood and getting the support their child needs.

Some of the work I'm proudest of happened outside a typical clinical setting. I founded an international SLP service program in Grenada, screening and assessing children who'd never had access to a speech therapist before, and led parent education sessions so families could keep building on that support long after I left. That experience shaped how I think about care: it should meet people where they are, not the other way around.

Today, I bring all of that experience to the families I work with here in Miami and virtually. My approach is collaborative and playful, and it starts with earning a child's trust before I ask anything of them. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I believe in building real relationships and creating a space where kids feel safe enough to be themselves, because that's where the real progress happens.
