Tina’s Philosophy

She believe communication is a a basic human right that every individual deserves, regardless of age, race, ability, or background. From a child speaking their first words to an adult relearning language after a stroke, every voice matters. Every story deserves to be heard.

As a bilingual therapist and woman of faith, I’m called to serve diverse communities with care that reflects both clinical excellence and cultural sensitivity. My mission is to ensure that no one is left unheard because of language, circumstance, or access.

The Speech Center of Houston was born from this belief — that communication connects us, heals us, and empowers us to live fully. My approach is rooted in personalized, evidence-based therapy designed to meet each client where they are, and walk with them toward progress. Speech therapy that speaks your language — and honors your journey.
