  • 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.
