Support for people who stutter

I work with people who stutter on the emotional aspects of living with a speech difference. This work often complements speech therapy, providing a space to explore how stuttering shapes your experiences in social, academic, and professional settings.

For many, the challenge may not be disfluency, but the effort of navigating a world that places high value on ease and speed. This can show up in subtle ways—avoiding words, overpreparing, holding back in groups, or closely monitoring the way you sound. Over time, these patterns can limit participation, connection, and a sense of ease in daily life.

In therapy, we look closely at these patterns—how they developed, what purpose they serve, and where they may no longer be helping. We focus on finding practical ways to engage more fully in the situations that matter to you.

This may include:

• Increasing participation in conversations or classes

• Navigating workplace communication (interviews, meetings, presentations)

• Approaching social and dating situations with greater confidence

• Reducing avoidance and reliance on workarounds

Many clients are also navigating anxiety, perfectionism, or related concerns. Therapy provides space to understand how these experiences interact and to respond in ways that feel more manageable and integrated.
