Welcome!

My name is Kayla, a licensed and certified Speech-Language Pathologist and owner of Communication Pathways, PLLC. I began my career as a Speech-Language Pathologist in 2011 after receiving a master's degree in the field of Speech-Language Pathology.  I have since spent the past 13 years working with children (ages 3-17) and adults with speech, language, and cognitive disorders.  My experience includes not only evaluation and therapy but working with families to support the needs of my clients.  I have 13 years of experience working in the public school system where I found my passion for working with the adolescent population and their speech and language needs.  Other clinical experience includes home health, private practice, an adult residential day facility for TBI and stroke patients, and an adult day program facility for aphasia.
