Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (M.S., CCC-SLP)

Accepts 12 insurance plans

Hi! I'm Kelly. I became a speech-language pathologist out of a deep desire to help others and make a meaningful difference through healthcare. I love guiding children and families as they build the communication skills and confidence needed to thrive in their everyday lives.

My clinical background spans a variety of pediatric settings, where I support children with diverse speech, language, feeding, and communication needs. My therapy approach is strength-based, sensory-integrated, and centered on each child's unique abilities. I prioritize individualized, client- and family-centered care, actively partnering with caregivers and interdisciplinary teams to foster functional communication, self-advocacy, and overall quality of life.

I am deeply committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care through continuous learning and clinical specialization. I hold specialized certifications and advanced training in Language Acquisition through Motor Planning (LAMP), Tobii Dynavox AAC systems, childhood apraxia of speech, and pediatric feeding. Additionally, I am a certified clinical supervisor for graduate students, reflecting my passion for clinical excellence and ongoing mentorship.
