Communication Begins with Connection

about the founder

As a mother of two and speech-language pathologist, my work is deeply rooted in a love for family and connection. I understand how chaotic and tender the parenting and recovery journey can feel and how much we all crave a village to lean on. I created Kin Speech Therapy as a space where families can feel supported, seen, and connected through every milestone. Whether you’re navigating first words, illness or big transitions, Kin Speech is here to remind you that you’re not alone. We’re all just doing our best, and together, we can make the hard parts feel a little lighter.

Our Services

  • 1:1 Speech Therapy

    One-on-one speech therapy is personalized support designed to help individuals improve their communication, language, or swallowing skills. Whether it’s a toddler learning to talk, a child working through speech sound challenges, or an adult recovering from illness or injury, each session is tailored to the person’s unique needs and goals.

    For young children, sessions often include parent coaching—giving caregivers the tools, strategies, and confidence to support their child’s communication at home. We’ll work together to build skills through play, routines, and real-life interactions. For adults, therapy may focus on restoring functional communication or safe swallowing, with hands-on guidance and practical strategies for daily life.

    At every age and stage, our goal is to help individuals connect more fully with the world around them—supporting expression, confidence, and meaningful participation in everyday life.

  • Group Classes

    We offer a range of small, supportive classes designed to nurture communication and connection from the start. Our Parent & Me groups focus on early language development through play, music, and bonding.

    The Picky Eaters Club is our feeding class that helps children explore and try new foods in a fun, low-pressure environment—perfect for little ones who are hesitant eaters.

    Our Toddler Language Groups build social and communication skills through engaging, play-based activities, all led by a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist.

  • In home Consultations

    Our in-home consultations are designed to support families in real-life settings. We’ll walk with you through your daily routines—whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or diaper changes with your baby — we help turn those everyday moments into meaningful opportunities for communication and connection. Together, we’ll create a language-rich environment tailored to your needs. I offer book recommendations, easy strategies you can start from birth, and tips to naturally encourage speech and language development at home.

    We also provide in-home support for caregivers of elderly loved ones, offering personalized guidance for safe feeding practices, mealtime participation, and creating supportive environments for communication and swallowing needs.
