About me

Hi! I'm Katie. I became a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) in 2010. I became an SLP because I love the intricacies and fluidity of language. I have worked in so many different settings and appreciated different aspects of each. I’ve worked in hospital acute care, inpatient rehab, outpatient clinics, skilled nursing facilities, long-term acute care, high schools, middle schools, elementary and preschools, early intervention, and home health for infants, toddlers, and geriatric populations. I’ve learned so much from every setting and every client! I also had the opportunity to supervise graduate students who were in training to become speech pathologists, which was both rewarding and fun. My clinical style is holistic and client-led, with a focus on family involvement, total communication, and empowerment.

She worked very well with my child. Great personality.

F.D./May 25, 2023

Katie is very patient and kind and has been able to very quickly hone in on my areas for improvement.

M.A./May 19, 2023

Our speech therapist was able to keep up with our incredibly fast talker. And appreciate her interests (incorporating them in games when possible) in ways that motivated and encouraged her throughout the lessons and with homework during the week.

O.B./May 17, 2023

Katie is fun, patient, and encouraging and my daughter loves the sessions with her.

Katie did SO much for our family. She was kind, compassionate, caring, and used tools that effectively helped our 2 daughters and our family so much. She completely changed our oldest daughter’s life and I know she (and us all!) will always remember Katie’s dedication to helping her thrive. Any time i had a question, a concern, she was always fast to reply and made sure I was thoroughly heard and that she helped with a solution. She was the best speech pathologist we could have ever found for our family!

We had a terrible experience with another company. I told Katie what I was looking for and she met us where we were at - she provided compassionate, gentle, trauma informed services and it made a world of difference! For me and my son. She saw his individual interests and strengths and made therapy fun, and he made very fast progress with her. I’m so grateful to her for hearing me and providing such great trauma informed care.

A.A./Dec 15, 2022

She’s patient, positive, and clear with directions.

R.F./Oct 26, 2022

She was very patient with my son and willing to work with my schedule changes

S.M./Sep 7, 2022

Katie was amazing. She guided me in what to work on each week, gave great feedback, and was always happy to answer my questions.

M.C./Jun 30, 2022

Understanding, flexible and listens.

C.G./Apr 12, 2022

She is very sincere skilled , easy going

S.N./Mar 26, 2022

Katie is an amazing speech therapist. She is so knowledgeable, thinks outside the box to keep kids engaged virtually (which can be quite challenging with a 2 year old!), was so compassionate, kind/ accommodating when we had to reschedule and has so many tips for me to practice with the girls after the sessions. She genuinely cares about helping kids reach their goals and about things that interest them too! We couldn’t have asked to be paired with a better speech therapist! Our oldest daughter (6) was a little nervous starting speech last year but she warmed up instantly to katie and looks forward to her sessions every week! She loves her time with her and works hard after sessions just so she can show Katie the new words she’s mastered. Couldn’t say enough about how grateful we are for her!
