I'm Emily!

I specialize in early childhood language development. I'll support your family as you navigate communication breakdowns and celebrate those long-awaited first words. I’ve created a play-based, relationship-centered approach rooted in parent coaching. We’ll discover what really motivates your child while equipping you with practical tools to support their progress—from first words to full stories. After all, there’s nothing better than hearing about their day.

Hi there,

Trusted Expertise for Real Families.

Emily Berriochoa MS, CCC-SLP, Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist

I have 13 years of clinical experience working in medical, school, and private practice settings. I am blessed to be a wife and a mother of two children and I speak Spanish. I am a cancer survivor and no stranger to the struggles of treatment and recovery. At the end of the day, the joy of helping others wins every time. In my free time, you can find me running a trail or hosting friends around a campfire.
