Kristen has a special ability to connect with kids at their level. She is endlessly supportive and encouraging, while also helping them to set and reach their speech goals. Our family is deeply grateful for her dedication and willingness to go above and beyond in helping us navigate the intersection of speech therapy, myofunctional therapy, and orthodontia.

Kristen is amazing! She is always calm and respectful. She has helped me grow so much over the past few years. She helped me understand what my tongue needs to do for my speech to be perfect. I am so grateful to have her.

Kristen was such a positive guiding force in this complicated world of myofunctional disorders. Our son struggled with saliva management, open mouth posture, mouth breathing and speech concerns. Kristen calmly led us through this journey with excellent dentist recommendations as well as focused exercises to strengthen our son’s lips and mouth muscles. Between orthodontic palate expansion and Kristen’s speech and myo work with him, our child has improved dramatically. We couldn’t be happier!

I can’t recommend Kristen highly enough for parents searching for a wonderful speech therapist for their child. Our daughter was a late talker and struggled to communicate verbally with words. Kristen expertly guided our daughter through this crucial chapter, helping her develop the foundational skills needed to unlock the delightful babbler we always knew was within her. Kristen’s kind and energetic demeanor was a stabilizing force throughout the process, uplifting and enriching the journey for us all.

We are so grateful for the incredible support our son has received from Kristen. She has not only helped him improve his speech and language skills but also built his confidence in ways we hadn’t imagined. Her warm, encouraging approach made every session something he looked forward to. She generously shares her knowledge with us, making it easy to understand and practice at home. Thanks to her, our son is now a more confident and capable communicator.

My 6 year old daughter has been under Kristen’s care for nearly a year and the results have been profound. Kristen has worked with my daughter for speech and myofunctional therapy (pre and post tongue tie release), tongue posture, and oral function. Not only does my daughter absolutely love her time with Kristen (and truly does not want to end her therapy sessions with her) but I do too. Having been referred to Kristen was a blessing, she cares, she listens, she is patient, engages with them, captures their attention, and establishes a relationship. My daughter really enjoys and looks forward to Kristen’s activities and makes the time feel more like play, while generating a great outcome. I would recommend her time and time again, and as a Mom, I am so happy with the amount of growth my daughter has made under her guidance.

Kristen has been my son's SLP for over a year working with him on an articulation disorder. We have seen tremendous improvements in his speech under her care. Kristen is knowledgeable, energetic, and patient. She is able to meet him at a developmentally appropriate level to make the sessions engaging and fun. As a parent, it is wonderful to see how much he looks forward to working with her each week. We would recommend Kristen to any of our friends or family members.

Kristen worked in our classroom last year with one of our students. During this time, she demonstrated her deep understanding of speech-language pathology and provided excellent care for our student. Kristen was sure to spend time checking in during every session to provide us with resources and the education needed to support our student in the classroom. She was also intentional about creating space to connect with our student’s family, furthering his progress throughout the school year. Kristen is exceptional. She is a compassionate, knowledgeable, and comprehensive therapist who exceeds expectations of care. She is truly wonderful and the best of the best!

Kristen is one of the most helpful and collaborative colleagues I have ever worked with! She takes the time to explain myofunctional therapy in a digestible way that is directly applicable to the client or case. I have collaborated with Kristen on so many of my clients and have seen the direct impact and growth that can be made when you target all aspects of speech and embed myofunctional treatment practices within typical speech sound production treatment! Kristen always goes the extra mile to support her clients and her colleagues! She’s an AMAZING SLP who approaches her clients and their families with kindness, a wealth of knowledge and experience, and compassion. When it comes to myofunctional therapy, Kristen is and always will be my first call! I would highly recommend Kristen to any family searching for support in speech and myofunctional therapy!
