We take a holistic, evidence-based approach to achieve victories for our clients and families while infusing more joy, love, and fun into your therapy sessions!
We bring speech therapy to your little muffin’s natural environment! This could be your home, preschool, park, or a specific location that adds convenience to your schedule and provides a real life scenario for your child to increase communication and language skills. We’re here for YOU!
We provide outstanding care coordination with other providers on your child's treatment team and have a strong network of preferred providers if outside referrals are warranted. We are there every step of the way with our clients from developmental evaluations, to IEP meetings, to chiropractic consults. We want care to be cohesive in order to best facilitate victories for our families!
Neurodiversity recognizes that our brains are wonderfully unique. Every individual has their own way of processing information and communicating. We celebrate our client's differences and use their strengths to guide therapy.
A play-based approach is beneficial because children learn and practice communication skills in the context of play, which is often more meaningful to them than abstract exercises or drills. This contextual learning helps them better understand how to use these skills in their daily lives, and results in increased results and generalization.
Potential clients start with a 15-20 minute intake phone call to determine if Victory is the right fit for you. We go over the reason for your speech therapy referral, medical history, and set a time for your initial evaluation.
New clients will participate in an initial evaluation, using a combination of standardized assessments, observation, and caregiver rapport. Evaluations take 1-1.5 hrs. Caregivers come away from it knowing if speech therapy services are warranted, where their child compares to their age-matched peers, goals of therapy, and with an individualized, comprehensive plan of care.
Caregivers are emailed and provided a hard copy of their speech therapy evaluation and we get started with the fun stuff... speech therapy! Sessions are typically 30-60 minutes. We encourage caregivers to participate in at least the first couple of sessions so we can provide education and demonstrate specific strategies and techniques.

When I’m not helping your precious little muffins achieve victories, you can find me with a diet coke and breakfast taco in hand heading to my family’s ranch. I adore animals and have a dog named Lou Lou who is a very good little girlie pop. I’m newly married and love to find new hiking places with my husband. I’ve also recently taken up gardening and love native Texas plants.
