Empower Your Child’s True Nature
At Hana Speech Therapy, every child belongs. Our holistic, neurodiversity-affirming approach fosters communication skills in an inclusive, nurturing environment where your child feels truly understood, empowering them to express themselves freely and authentically.
Your Ally and Advocate
Hi, I’m Hana!
And I’m the founder and lead speech therapist at Hana Speech Therapy. I’m also neurodivergent, so I don’t just understand the challenges your child faces - I’ve lived them. I know how hard it can be to find support that truly sees your child for who they are. I’m here to walk alongside you on this journey, offering therapy that feels safe, authentic, and meaningful.
When you come to me, you’re not just finding a speech therapist, you’re gaining an advocate who will always show up for your child with curiosity, warmth, and unwavering belief in their abilities.

She has been an incredible support for our son, who faces unique challenges with managing his emotions and working through speech stuttering. Her approach is nothing short of magical; she brings creativity and warmth to each session, transforming therapy into a fun and engaging experience that feels more like play than work.
She adapts her strategies to his needs in real-time, showing a remarkable understanding and empathy. Her dedication and genuine care for his growth have helped him make progress while building his confidence.

“Hana went above and beyond to assure we would be heard. She gave me a voice in there.”
“Some things about Hana that stuck out to me were her human kindness, ability to not push agendas, and be client-centered always. She has a unique way of connecting with families. And, most importantly, the way she fought for my child’s needs! This was more than just a case of a little boy denied services. Hana went above and beyond to assure we would be heard. She gave me a voice in there.”

“After receiving the results and the right type of speech services, my son is thriving!”
“My son was three when he was denied speech services through the school district. Born at 24 weeks, he has had a complex medical history since birth. As his mother and advocate, along with his care team, I knew I had to fight the school system for this, as it was clear he needed speech services. Thanks to Ms. Lumley, everything came together when she explained Gestalt Language Processing. After receiving the results and the right type of speech services, my son is thriving! He now has a basic human right: the ability to communicate with the world around him. Thank you, Hana, for giving me a voice there.”
