Hi! I’m Judy, the founder of Nalee Speech Clinic. I’m a bilingual speech-language pathologist (SLP) fluent in English and Korean. My passion for language learning and helping others led me to specialize in accent modification, early intervention, and early literacy. 

My Approach

I incorporate evidence-based strategies to help both children and adults become more effective and confident communicators. I love working with clients on:

  • Accent Modification – Helping non-native English speakers improve speech clarity while maintaining their unique identity.

  • Early Intervention – Supporting young children in developing strong communication skills through play-based learning.

  • Early Literacy – Helping young children build strong literacy foundations.

My goal is to equip parents with practical, evidence-based strategies so they feel confident supporting their child’s language and literacy skills at home.

Having studied multiple languages—including Korean, French, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, and Spanish—I understand how frustrating it can be to feel misunderstood. That’s why I’m passionate about making communication easier, more effective, and more enjoyable for my clients.

I’m excited to be part of your language journey—whether it’s refining pronunciation, building communication skills, or fostering early literacy.
