Katherine is the founder of Chickadee Chatter Speech Therapy and has been supporting children and families since 2017. She blends evidence-based speech and language therapy with play, connection, and nature-based experiences to help children build confident communication skills in ways that feel meaningful and fun.

Kat created Chickadee Chatter to offer families a place where therapy feels supportive, flexible, and rooted in real life experiences. Every child brings unique strengths—and Kat believes those strengths are the starting point for growth.
