About me

Hello! I’m Kristen. I became a speech-language pathologist (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 pediatric private practice, daycares, and schools (preschool through high school). I would describe my clinical style as holistic, client-centered, individualized/personalized, sensory integrated, and rooted in client empowerment to create self-advocates.

We absolutely love working with Kristen. She has given us so much insight to how we can better help our non-speaking child. I leave every session with more empowerment and feel fully supported. Thank you!
