💚 Meet Katie! 💚

Hi, I’m Katie! I’ve been a speech therapist for 15 years, and I’ve
spent my entire career working with children.

I am deeply passionate about the power of individualized and
intentional intervention and the meaningful change it can create for children and families. This work truly inspires me every single day.

When I’m not at the clinic, you’ll likely see me around Sauganash with my husband, our two little boys, and our dog Penny 🐾

I’m so grateful to be part of this community and to support families on their speech and language journeys.
