Natalie Gardner

Hi! I’m Natalie. I became a speech-language pathologist because I believe communication is at the heart of how we connect with others and navigate the world around us. It allows us to express our needs, build relationships, learn, work, and participate in the moments that matter most. When communication becomes challenging, it can affect many aspects of daily life. I was drawn to this field because it gives me the opportunity to help people find their voice (in whatever form that takes) and build the confidence to express themselves and be understood.

I have experience supporting individuals with a variety of communication needs across the lifespan. I have also completed specialized training in telepractice evaluation and treatment, as well as Modified Barium Swallow Studies (MBSS) for individuals with dysphagia. These experiences have strengthened my ability to support both communication and swallowing in meaningful, functional ways.

My therapy approach is highly individualized and client-centered. I prioritize family involvement, meaningful real-world outcomes, and helping each person build confidence, independence, and success as a communicator.
