At Chatterbox Kids, we celebrate each child's unique personality, abilities, and preferences. Our ability-focused therapy is centered on using a child's strengths as the foundation for learning and acquiring new skills. As we celebrate what a child can do, we create the motivation to try new things while also building self-confidence along the way. We value collaboration and family participation and partner with parents to deliver therapy that is aligned with the family's goals. Parents are always invited and encouraged to participate in our therapy activities where we dedicate time to teaching strategies that support carryover into everyday activities.

Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
Certified PEERS provider

Communication is a huge part of our everyday lives and that is why I believe being able to help a child develop the skills and confidence to share their voice with the world is a true honor. I am dedicated to helping children improve their skills and ability to participate in daily activities, social interactions, and school. Working alongside parents and other family members allows for a collaborative approach to therapy that truly delivers lasting results. As a mother, I understand how busy life is. Therefore I make it a priority to teach parents accessible strategies that easily fit into practice into daily activities.
