Voice Disorders & Gender-Affirming Voice

Your voice is how the world hears you. When it doesn't match how you sound to yourself, voice therapy is how you get it back or get it where you want it. That goes for voice changes from injury, strain, or illness, and for the work of building a voice that reflects your gender identity.

What it is

Voice therapy covers a wide range of needs: vocal nodules and other medical voice disorders, age-related voice changes, voice strain in teachers and other heavy voice users, gender-affirming voice work, and recovery after vocal surgery. I provide both medical voice therapy and gender-affirming voice care.

Who this is for

• Anyone whose voice feels strained, breathy, or unreliable
• Teachers, attorneys, performers, and other heavy voice users
• Transgender and nonbinary clients seeking gender-affirming voice therapy
• People referred by an ENT or laryngologist after a voice evaluation

How I approach this work

I bring my music background into voice work. That perspective shapes how I think about resonance, breath, pitch, and the patterns of effort that make a voice feel like yours, or not. For medical voice issues (strain, nodules, post-surgical recovery) or gender-affirming work, the goal is a voice that's healthy, sustainable, and authentically yours.

What sessions look like

Sessions blend voice exercises with practice in the situations that matter to you: conversations, presentations, work calls, time with the people in your life. Gender-affirming voice work often layers in resonance, intonation, and conversational pragmatics in addition to pitch.
