  • Speech-Language Pathologist

    Callie believes communication should feel natural, joyful, and empowering. With a warm, strengths-based approach, she partners with families to help children grow into confident communicators - whether they're just beginning to speak or using an AAC device to express themselves.

    She specializes in supporting neurodivergent kids and takes pride in meeting each child exactly where they are.

    Areas of focus include:

    • Autism and neurodiversity-affirming care

    • Gestalt language processing (echolalia is communication!)

    • AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication)

    • Early childhood and lower elementary learners

    • Articulation and phonological processing

    • Language development through play, routines, and relationships

    Outside of sessions, you can usually find Callie in the garden or chasing around her three big dogs.

  • Occupational Therapist

    Jeana is passionate about helping people build the skills they need to live a meaningful and independent life — whether that’s mastering daily routines or navigating big emotions.

    With a calm, playful presence, Jeana creates a safe space for children to explore and succeed on their own terms.

    Areas of focus include:

    • Activities of Daily Living: feeding, grooming, bathing, dressing, toileting, playing, sleeping, transitioning between daily activities

    • Sensory processing and regulation: movement, posture, touch, visual, auditory, taste/smell, and internal sensations.

    • Executive functioning: impulse control, working memory, planning, task initiation, attention

    • Emotional regulation

    • Building independence through meaningful activities

    Some of Jeana’s favorite occupations are hiking, gardening, spending time with animals (including her beloved bunny Theo), jamming to favorite playlists, and visiting coffee shops with friends.
