Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist

I founded Little Ears & Voices to create a space where a child’s early communication is nurtured with intention, warmth, and joy. Supporting families during their child’s important first years isn’t just my profession, it’s also my passion. I believe every child deserves to feel heard and understood. My approach is rooted in connection, play, and evidence-based strategies that celebrate each child’s unique voice and journey.

I’m here to support you and your little one every step of the way. I can’t wait for us to grow together!

Little Notes

with Big Impact

“It's been like a sigh of relief having Emily work with [our child]. The growth in just this year alone has been incredible. I can't thank her enough for giving me the gift of being able to have a conversation with my son."

- Nyasia H.
"A particularly proud moment for us was witnessing our daughter's graduation from preschool, where she confidently articulated ‘what she wanted to be when she grows up.’ This milestone represents a remarkable achievement, one that would not have been possible without Emily. We are deeply thankful for Emily's commitment and the positive impact she's had on our daughter's life. We look forward to working with her in the years to come."

- Happy parent
"Despite numerous sessions with other speech therapists, [our daughter] continued to struggle with communication. We were fortunate to be connected with Emily, who expertly diagnosed our daughter with speech apraxia and developed a personalized therapy plan tailored to her needs. Emily’s patient, energetic, and engaging approach transformed our daughter’s ability to communicate. She creates a supportive and stimulating environment during each in-home session, fostering our daughter's confidence and progress."

- Jocelyn K.
"Emily has been a shining light in the lives of my family and [me]. Having a speech delayed child has had its difficult moments, but with her help and encouragement and support with my son, his ability to communicate has not only made it easier for him to express his needs, but has also given me the best gift of having a conversation with my baby. Her light and kindness has been such a breath of fresh air for us. And my son loves her just the same. I cannot recommend and thank her enough!!!!"

- Happy parent
I had the honor of working with Emily...she had the patience of a saint and I could see a difference in my students communication after only a few sessions. She completely transformed one of my students from a child who couldn’t form a full sentence to a bouncing, happy, and talkative child. She worked so hard to help him communicate and provided us with so much assistance and materials so we could continue working with him between sessions. I was so lucky to have her direction that year so that I could continue using her approach with my students communication after.
