“My daughter (5) started working with Karen on stuttering. In one word, Karen was simply amazing. My daughter was getting very upset with herself, but Karen was very caring and my daughter was looking forward to every session they had. Karen was very professional and patient, provided constant feedback to us parents and worked with us towards solution. My daughter emerged as a confident speaker after. We couldn’t thank Karen enough!”

“Karen has worked with our son from the age of 5 to 7. She helped him with sound adjustments for a couple of letters. She is a very professional person which is great for the parents but even more important is how kids respond to her. She has that kind but firm touch with children, and meets them at their level. Our son was looking forward to each session with Karen, even to the Zoom sessions when Covid hit. He also called her my "friend Karen" which is amazing as he had to do quite a lot of work with her. Over the two years we saw a huge amount of improvement to a point where we didn't need her anymore.”

“We absolutely LOVE Karen and expressing the gratitude/respect we hold for her in such a short review is impossible! Our little boy (then 2) had absolutely zero words when we met Karen. Not sure what to expect, he was talking in a month's time. We worked with Karen for just under a year now and our little boy is non-stop singing, talking, and saying "I love you mama." My heart is melting finally hearing his thoughts! She (and her bag of toys!) is great with getting him excited and focused in his sessions. Our son loves her and asks for her all the time! Karen takes her time and listens to our concerns as parents whether it is about speech or anything else. I am thankful to have her in my life too. A speech therapist who also knows the value of being a good listener (and for her it comes naturally) is the speech therapist you want for your child. She is a must if you need a therapist!”

“Karen has helped my daughter progress so much in such a short time. We not only saw great improvement in her articulation but also in her confidence and eagerness to do well. Karen not only makes sessions effective but manages to keep my 5 year old engaged and entertained the whole session. Appreciate the support!”

“Karen is an exceptional speech therapist!  Our late talker blossomed through her skilled (and fun) work with him.  My husband and I were consistently impressed by Karen's knowledge and expertise in the areas of child and speech development.  She was able to apply this knowledge in fun, creative and engaging ways to help our son find his voice. She simply has a gift with children. She also helped my husband and I to understand how to best support our son and was always available to us for questions or talk through things. From the beginning of our work with Karen, it was apparent that our son's progress and well-being were just as important to her as to us. Karen will always be a special person to our family and son.”

“Karen is the best! She helped my son with his speech delay. He grew so much and became such a confident speaker. She was so patient with him on days that he was being a fussy toddler, and was very thoughtful in bringing activities that she knew would engage him to get the work done. I have already referred her to a few families.”

“Karen helped my son find confidence in expressing himself by using various, engaging activities. He looked forward to working with her and was eager to practice to be able to show her his progress. We are very lucky to have found her.”
