Ms. Katie M.A. CCC/SLP 

I am a mom of 4 crazy kiddos, a military wife, and an animal lover. My family and I love living the aloha life, spending as much time as possible in the sand. We enjoy exploring the lagoons, going on kid-friendly hikes, and frequenting the many farmer's markets on island.

I graduated from Texas State University in 2014 with my Master’s in Communication Disorders. I have had the pleasure of working with both children and adults throughout my career. Most recently, I serviced the pediatric population in Okinawa, Japan, treating differences such as articulation impairments, language delays, and social-pragmatic challenges. My goal in therapy is to provide a play-based environment tailored to your child's needs and interests. I love incorporating pretend play, music, and games in therapy. I also believe family involvement is essential for speech and language development and generalization outside of treatment.

Creating meaningful relationships and seeing my client’s succeed brings me so much joy. I am eager to become apart of the Cove family and can’t wait to watch your children flourish!​
