Hi! I’m Katherine
I am a registered speech-language pathologist who is passionate about supporting children and youth in becoming successful communicators and learners. I provide a collaborative approach to speech therapy, working with individuals and families to build trust and determine their goals and priorities so that I can best support them. I believe that learning happens best when clients are curious, engaged and having fun, and I strive to bring this approach to my sessions.
I have over five years of experience providing speech-language therapy to every age – from toddlers to high school and beyond. I have worked in a variety of settings, including in homes, schools, preschools, clinics, and virtually. I also have training and experience in maintaining a linguistically and culturally sensitive practice, including providing clinical services within a First Nations community in Alberta.
As an SLP committed to evidence-based practice, I continually seek to increase my clinical knowledge and skills. Whether staying up to date on speech and language research, participating in a course in supporting executive functioning or taking training on trauma-informed practice, there is always something to learn! My areas of especial interest and expertise are speech, language, and literacy concerns and the connection between them.
Outside of work, you can find me adventuring in the mountains - hiking, paddleboarding, backcountry camping, and skiing. I also enjoy cooking and baking for my family and friends, reading, and travelling.
