Introduction

Hi, I’m Kristen, a pediatric speech-language pathologist based in the Peninsula. I am dedicated to helping children build strong communication skills. I work on supporting language development, executive functioning, social communication, articulation, and more, with children ages 3-18. My approach blends creativity with evidence-based techniques to make therapy engaging, effective, and personalized to each child’s unique needs. My goal is to create a supportive and motivating environment where every child can thrive and gain confidence in their communication abilities.

What words would you use to describe yourself?

Creative
Patient
Personalized
I would describe myself as creative, patient, and personalized. Creativity allows me to make therapy sessions fun, engaging, and tailored to each child’s interests and learning style. Patience is key in my work—I understand that every child progresses at their own pace, and I strive to create a supportive, low-pressure environment where they feel safe to grow. Lastly, I believe in a highly personalized approach, adapting each session to meet the specific needs of the child, ensuring they receive targeted and meaningful therapy that leads to real progress.

Who are you best positioned to serve?

I am best positioned to serve children and teens ages 3-18 who need support with language delays, speech sound disorders, and specific language impairments. I work with kids at various developmental stages, tailoring therapy to help them improve their communication skills in a way that is meaningful and practical for their everyday lives. Whether a child is working on articulation, expanding their vocabulary, or improving their social communication, I provide individualized, engaging therapy that fosters confidence and success. My goal is to help each client communicate more effectively and feel empowered in their interactions.
