About me

Hi! I’m Kaylee. I always knew I wanted to work in a field that helped people, so I looked into nursing and teaching. I was taking prerequisite courses, and my early childhood professor recommended I look into speech because, at the time, I hadn't heard of it as a career. Ultimately, I fell in love and have worked in the field as an assistant or full speech-language pathologist (SLP) since 2015! I continue to expand my clinical skill set through specialized coursework in areas such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), phonological disorders, and gestalt language processing. This ongoing training allows me to provide comprehensive, up-to-date care across a wide range of needs. I have experience working with children and adults in the outpatient clinic and elementary school settings. I take a client-centered and highly individualized approach to therapy. By integrating sensory-integration-informed practices, I focus on supporting meaningful carryover of skills into daily life. I also prioritize family involvement and functional outcomes, helping each client build confidence, independence, and effective communication skills.
