She has practiced as a speech therapist in a variety of settings, including skilled nursing, home health, & schools.  

When working with Carley, no communication or cognitive goal is off limits. She has helped patients with seemingly small, yet meaningful tasks such as learning to say "I love you", speaking more fluently in class, memorizing grandchildren's names, and even ordering a pizza! Carley knows the true value of these everyday tasks that so many take for granted. Her goal is to teach you the strategies and give you the tools you need to make your life easier, better, and of course, sweeter.

In her free time, Carley can be found running marathons, looking for the best cup of coffee, and spending time with her family and friends, whom she loves dearly.
