Affinity Therapy
Language is built in conversation, and rebuilt there too.
You're the one in those conversations every day, with your toddler, or with someone you love who's rebuilding after a stroke or brain injury. I'll help you make them count.

Why does everyday conversation matter so much?
The brain builds language through repetition, in many small back-and-forth moments every day. A toddler learns words that way, and an adult rebuilding after a stroke or brain injury relearns them the same way. That's neuroplasticity, and it's why the people having those conversations matter as much as any session. My job is to give you the skills, strategies, and feedback to make those everyday moments count, by secure video, wherever you are in Tennessee, Kentucky, or North Carolina.
Why Marina
Hands-on experience, put to work for your family
Before I became a speech-language pathologist, I first studied music therapy, then worked as a registered behavior technician and as an SLP assistant in schools, with graduate training in skilled-nursing and outpatient rehab. For you, that means a clinician who has done the day-to-day, hands-on side of the work herself, and who builds plans you can actually carry out at home, between sessions, in real life.
Practice that feels natural
Music therapy is where I started, so rhythm, routine, and play shape the everyday practice we build together.
Plans you can actually do
Years as a behavior technician and SLP assistant taught me what works in a real day, not just on paper.
Help where you are
Secure video, anywhere in Tennessee, Kentucky, and North Carolina. No commute, no waiting room.
