Dedicated, patient, passionate and loyal are a few of the words often used by those around me. From an early age, my teachers and family-friends commented on my exceptional ability to work and connect with children. Choosing a career path as a Speech Language Pathologist was a logical direction that I embraced from my first day in college. Prior to college I had already gained many skills working with children from all backgrounds through babysitting, work as a camp counselor & assistant director and volunteering at therapeutic riding programs.

Speech Language Pathologist: Since graduating from Cal State San Marcos with a Masters Degree in Speech-Language-Pathology, I have provided Speech and Language Therapy to the pediatric population in homes, clinics and schools. After gaining experience providing articulation, phonology, fluency, receptive, expressive, & pragmatic language therapy to children with a variety of abilities, including Apraxia, Down Syndrome, and Autism Spectrum Disorder, I now offer services to families through my own business. Speech With Alyssa offers speech-language therapy which is tailored to meet the needs of your child. This may include therapy at restaurants, so your child can practice ordering their favorite meals and build independence in doing so; meeting you at the neighborhood playground to facilitate social language with peers; or coming to your home and after sequencing the steps to make cookies, implement that knowledge by baking cookies with your child. I look forward to working with you to develop a plan of care TOGETHER as a team!
