Hi, I’m Kathryne! A Speech-Language Pathologist, Pediatric Feeding Specialist, and mom to two littles. I earned my master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology in 2017 from Missouri State University. I began my career with early intervention services in the home health setting, while also serving students with severe disabilities in the state school setting. I enjoy working closely with families and other specialists to provide therapy and caregiver coaching to support your child right where they are, then use evidence-based methods to build their skills.

So much growth happens with your children in their first few years. Some families may feel overwhelmed in how to best support their child in speech + language development, feeding skills, or feeding safety. If any of those areas seem like a challenge, I would love to come alongside you and your child in their feeding and/or communication journey to provide you with the strategies and tools to reach your family’s goals.

You know your child better than anyone, so with your involvement and my expertise we will see incredible progress together.
