Expressable will match you with a licensed speech therapist who's experienced in your area of need and available when you are.
Get startedHi! I'm Millie, a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) with a passion for helping people communicate and connect in meaningful ways. I became an SLP driven by a deep desire to support individuals across the lifespan—whether it’s a toddler saying their first words, a teenager finding confidence in their voice, or an adult regaining communication after a stroke.Before pursuing speech-language pathology, I spent nearly a decade working as a librarian. That experience nurtured my love of language, literacy, and lifelong learning—but I wanted to make a more personal impact. Becoming an SLP has allowed me to combine my strengths in communication, education, and human connection to empower individuals and families in truly life-changing ways. I've worked in a variety of settings, including university clinics, hospitals (acute care and outpatient), skilled nursing/post-acute rehab, elementary and middle schools, pediatric private practice, and now teletherapy. I have special interests in early intervention (birth to three), supporting middle and high school students, and working with adult neurogenic populations. I hold advanced training and certification in: SPEAK OUT! – Parkinson’s Voice Treatment Program, MBSImP – Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile (Northern Speech Services), Orthographic Instruction for Speech Intelligibility & Phonological Awareness (Northern Speech Services)My clinical approach is holistic, client-centered, and strengths-based. I focus on building functional communication skills and empowering clients and families through personalized, evidence-based therapy. Above all, I believe in creating confident communicators and self-advocates—because communication is not just a skill, it’s a lifeline!

Outside of work, I find peace and inspiration in the natural world. I love going on long walks—whether through mountain trails or quiet neighborhoods—letting my thoughts wander and soak in the beauty around me. I feel most grounded when I’m creating: cooking something cozy in the kitchen, painting/crafting, or getting lost in a new idea. Whether I’m reading, daydreaming, or simply sitting in stillness, I find joy in beautiful things and embracing quiet, imaginative moments. Most of all, I cherish time spent with family—they are my favorite people in the world!

Get started
Private payHSA/FSA Major insurance plansIt’s never too late to start speech therapy. Adults commonly receive speech therapy to overcome problems from childhood that weren’t properly treated (such as a stutter or articulation issue), treat speech and language issues due to illness or injury, such as a stroke, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or ALS, improve communication skills due to a clinical diagnosis, such as aphasia, acquired apraxia of speech, or dysarthria, improve confidence and communication skills in the workplace, such as public speaking and interviewing, reduce accents that are regional or based on your country of origin, modify the pitch, intonation, and quality of your voice, and more!
The duration of speech therapy is different for everyone, and it depends on several factors. This includes the type of speech disorder or communication challenge, the frequency of speech therapy sessions, how often you practice the skills taught in speech therapy at home, your personal or professional goals, any underlying medical conditions, and more.
Expressable online speech therapy offers flexible hours, including mornings, nights, and weekends, so you can schedule speech therapy around your life–not the other way around. And because it’s online, there’s no commute time involved.
Speech therapy sessions are focused on each client’s care plan, and the activities done during sessions always relate to those goals. So, if a person is in speech therapy to better pronounce the /s/ sound, they’ll begin by learning how to make the sound by itself and work up to practicing it in conversation. Or if someone wants to improve the quality of their voice, their speech therapist will teach them appropriate breathing and vocal exercises. The therapist will aim to do as many trials of each exercise as possible, in order to make the most of each session.
Your speech therapist will constantly be measuring and assessing your response to these exercises. When needed, they’ll make changes to your treatment plan to help you make progress as quickly as possible. Regardless of your goals, your speech therapist will always provide practice activities to complete at home between sessions.
Expressable currently accepts many of the largest insurance companies, and we’re actively working on contracting with new plans across the country. We also offer affordable private pay options and accept HSAs/FSAs for those who do not have insurance coverage or prefer to pay out-of-pocket.
