About me

Hello! I’m Kristen. I have been a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) since 2021. I became an SLP because my grandfather had a stroke when I was in high school and he lost the ability to communicate effectively. From my personal experiences, I decided I wanted to help others in whatever way I could, as I believe that communication in all its forms is a basic human right. While in college, I received a certificate in Deaf Studies, to better understand Deaf culture. I have also completed training on Gestalt Language Processing. I have worked in clinical settings such as: private practice-pediatric, schools-daycare/preschool-high school ages. I would describe my clinical style as holistic, client-centered, individualized/personalized, sensory integrated, and rooted in client empowerment to create self-advocates.
