Affinity Therapy
When focus and words don't come like they used to.
If brain fog, word-finding slips, or mental fatigue have crept into your workday, you're not imagining it, and you're not stuck with it. I help working professionals get their focus, recall, and mental stamina back, with practical strategies that fit into real work and real life.
And if you or someone you love is rebuilding communication after a stroke, brain injury, or a progressive diagnosis, you're in the right place too.

How does virtual cognitive therapy help working adults?
Think of it as coaching for your thinking and communication. Together we work on the everyday things brain fog chips away at, like holding a thought, landing on the right word, and staying focused. We use practical strategies you try in your real work. Sessions are virtual and built around your energy and your goals. Your brain keeps rewiring itself with the right repeated practice, which is why communication and thinking can keep improving long after you were told they'd stop.
Meet Marina
Hi, I'm Marina. I'm a speech-language pathologist, and I started Affinity Therapy because I believe people deserve more than a referral and a waitlist. Whether you're a professional whose focus and word-finding aren't what they were, recovering from a stroke or brain injury yourself, or supporting a loved one who is, I'd love to talk through what's going on and how I can help.

Adult neurologic communication recovery is my specialty
After a stroke or brain injury, the person is still fully there. Their thoughts, their humor, their personality are all intact. What's changed is the bridge between thought and word, and that bridge can be rebuilt. Helping adults do that, after aphasia, brain injury, and stroke, is the work I trained for in skilled-nursing and outpatient rehab, and the work I care most about.
