Speech Language Pathologist | Accent Modification Specialist | 20+ Yrs

If you're an adult professional whose accent sometimes gets in the way of being clearly understood, or if you want a neutral, confident American sound - I can help. I’m a licensed Speech Language Pathologist (ASHA #12042273; CA License #13069) specializing in accent modification and pronunciation training for adults. I help international professionals improve clarity, reduce misunderstandings, and speak with confidence in professional and social situations. ⭐ What I Help You Achieve My clients come to me when they want to: - Sound more clear and neutral in professional conversations - Fix high-impact sounds like /th/, /r/, /l/, and American vowels - Improve rhythm, stress, and intonation - Communicate confidently with coworkers, customers, or patients - Prepare for interviews, meetings, presentations, and promotions - Stop being asked to repeat themselves - Speak naturally without losing their identity I work with engineers, tech professionals, physicians, researchers, executives, sales professionals, and adult learners from over 25 countries. ⭐ How My Method Works Most accent coaches rely on mimicry. I use evidence-based methods rooted in speech science. You’ll learn: - Exactly which sounds are affecting your clarity - What your tongue, airflow, and voicing are doing in those moments - How to adjust the pattern so the sound becomes accurate and automatic - How to progress from sound → word → sentence → conversation My approach is precise, targeted, and effective. ⭐ What You Receive Every client receives: ✔ Full Accent Evaluation (45–90 min) A detailed analysis of your sounds, accuracy %, and skill level. ✔ Written Report + Personalized Goals A clear roadmap outlining where to focus and why. ✔ Custom Speech Dashboard Your private online hub with: - sound pages - audio/video models - word lists - diagrams - recordings - progress tracking ✔ 1-to-1 Coaching Sessions Live feedback so you know exactly when a sound is correct — and how to make it stick. ✔ Homework Plan + Audio Guidance Short, targeted practice that builds real-world improvement. ⭐ Why Work With Me - 20+ years as a certified Speech-Language Pathologist - Deep expertise in phonetics, articulation, and the English sound system - Experience training hundreds of adults from around the world - Fluent in multiple languages (Spanish, French, ASL), so I understand the process personally - Clear structure, measurable progress, and no guesswork If you want an accurate, confident, easy-to-understand American sound, I’d be happy to help.
