Parent & Client Reviews
"I am beyond thankful to Katrina for helping my son go from 100% g tube fed to 100% oral eater by his second birthday! He has a complex medical history that affected his ability to swallow in numerous ways. He was tube fed from birth and Katrina was able to work within his abilities to teach him how to swallow and later explore solids to now eating age appropriate meals. She connected with my nonverbal son and engaged with him in ways that he was responsive to. Out of all of his many therapists, she was both mine and my son’s favorite! I only wish she hadn’t moved so he could continue seeing her."

"Katrina is an amazing speech therapist and an incredibly compassionate human! Katrina worked with my daughter using the Accent 1400 eye gaze communication device for a couple of years and they made tremendous progress together. Katrina incorporated games, music, and storytelling into each therapy session to keep my daughter's interested and to maximize learning and retention.If you have ever used assistive technology, you probably know how frustrating it can be if it falls out of calibration. But, have no fear- Katrina is a master with assistive technology and helped us troubleshoot the device when needed. She worked closely with the technology vendor to ensure the most accuracy with each use.Katrina also placed huge importance in my daughter's Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Katrina collaborated with my daughter's school therapist to ensure all private speech therapy sessions complemented her in-school learning.Sadly, Katrina moved away so our private therapy sessions ended. But, she made such a huge impact in our lives. I highly recommend Katrina...run now and book your session!
We love you Katrina! XO"

"We highly recommend Ms. Katrina! She is a wonderful therapist that took the time and necessary steps to be sure our son received the necessary treatment to succeed in his Feeding Therapy journey. Before meeting Ms. Katrina, we were beyond devastated that our son regressed after surgery and was placed on a G-Tube. We were referred to Feeding/Swallow Therapy after he failed his Swallow Study. Ms. Katrina was his assigned therapist and she was very insightful in giving us tips and techniques to help our son progress at a comfortable level. She was very kind and sympathetic towards these emotional sessions. Our son loved hearing her voice and gentle word cues. His favorite “besitos” to prompt him to close his lips around his spoon and clear the food. We are beyond thankful to have had shared our experience with Ms. Katrina and hope other families will also gain skills and encouragement from her future sessions."

"We cannot say enough wonderful things about Ms. Katrina! She is always positive, encouraging, and cheerful. Her speech sessions were always creative and fun for my nonverbal daughter. Katrina customized the sessions to my daughter's needs so well, creating games and tailoring the session to not only my daughter's needs, but also her interests. We have seen Katrina in-person as well as through Telehealth, and although we prefer in-person visits, Katrina even made the Telehealth visits positive and successful. We cannot recommend her highly enough!"
