About Melissa
I earned my master's degree in speech-language pathology from Ithaca College and have been a speech therapist for over 10 years. I spent most of my career as a Senior Speech-Language Pathologist at Magee Rehabilitation Hospital in Philadelphia on the stroke and brain injury unit. While at Magee, I worked with patients who had complex neurological conditions involving dysphagia, aphasia, and other cognitive-communication disorders. I also helped co-initiate the music therapy department and lead the Cancer Care Committee. Currently, I am licensed in both CT and WA. I provide outpatient teletherapy to adults and lead an aphasia support group with a practice based out of Washington State. I am a SPEAK OUT!® Provider which is a certification to help people with Parkinson’s and related neurological disorders regain and retain their speech and swallowing. I am also a Certified Lingraphica® Technology Specialist. I have a passion for advocating for my clients while also supporting their families. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, and going to the beach.
