Welcome! I’m Ashley. I am a speech-language pathologist and certified lactation counselor. I specialize in pediatric feeding & speech/language— supporting little ones from birth through 5 years old. I have over 10 years of clinical experience in the field of speech-language pathology, and I believe in evidence-based, family-centered care. As a mom of 3, I know firsthand how many decisions you have to make for your little ones (even before they are born) and with each decision comes access to loads of information about what is the best. While this abundant access to information has many benefits, it can also feel overwhelming. I get it. I’ve been there (still there actually).

The more time I spend working with families and being a mom, the more I realize that there really is no one-size-fits-all approach. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to fit my kids into one box and then have someone give me a rule book for that box. That’s just not how kids work. There are so many things that make each child unique and special and there is so much that each family brings to the table. I think the missing piece to all of the information out there is that it’s not written for your story. And your story really matters to me.

I’ve talked to countless parents and caregivers who have told me something along the lines of: “I just didn’t expect this to be so hard.” If that’s how you feel, I see you. There are so many feelings that come along with navigating challenges with our kids. I started Together Speech and Feeding with that in mind. It can feel really lonely to navigate a tough-to-feed infant, challenging mealtimes, or speech/language delays in a toddler, and my goal is to come alongside you, and together, create a treatment plan that will help you meet your goals. If you want to learn more about my approach click HERE.
