Caring for a Stroke Survivor is Hard. 
Doing It Alone is Harder.

Get the tools, support, and relief you need—starting today.

The moment stroke or aphasia enters your life, everything changes.

You Never Signed Up For This.

No one prepared you for being your spouse’s voice, advocate, and caregiver—while still trying to be their partner.

You’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering: Is there any way to make this easier?

You don’t just need advice. You need real solutions—ones that work in real life.

Don't Navigate This Alone

At LIFE Aphasia Academy®, we know that being a care partner isn’t just hard—it can feel isolating, relentless, and overwhelming.

Your loved one survived, but they likely came home a different version of themselves—and overnight, you became their advocate, voice, and caregiver. You want them to recover, but most care partners don’t have the capacity to take on rehab, daily care, and everything else—because they’re just trying to survive.

That’s where I can help. With 30 years of experience in stroke and aphasia rehabilitation—working in hospitals, homes, and now through telepractice—I’ve seen firsthand that recovery isn’t just about therapy. It’s about having the right support system (that’s you) and giving care partners the tools to navigate this journey without losing themselves in the process.

Over the last two years, I’ve worked closely with dozens of care partners and developed a clear, step-by-step method to take you from surviving to thriving—where stroke and aphasia no longer rule your life.

There is life beyond stroke and aphasia. Let’s help you get there.

"This book is the real deal! There are so many tips on how to make sure your loved one with aphasia (or other communication disorder) is fully included in family and holiday gatherings. Easy, quick tips that make a big difference!"

DP, Spouse

"After my wife’s stroke, it was like I was losing her. She’d sit there, quiet, barely engaging with me or the kids. I was worried that this was it. But then we started working on communication—really working on it. Now she’s talking with us again, asking questions, even sharing jokes. It’s not perfect, but it’s real progress, and for the first time, I feel like I have my wife back."

DM, Spouse

"How can I begin to put in words what my time with Genevieve means to me. She gives me hope and positive goals to get me where I want be. Her positivity lifts me up when I get down on myself. With Aphasia this comes comes up out of the blue. If you are looking for a pathologist I can’t recommend a better specialist."
