“I am both a speech therapist and a parent. When I realized that my own daughter needed therapy, I, like most parents, wanted to make sure she got the best therapist possible. Without hesitation, I contacted Katherine at North Star. I've always known that Katherine was extremely knowledgeable (all speech therapists have a Master's degree, and Katherine has a doctorate on top of that), but I was absolutely blown away with how amazing she was when working with our family. Katherine is a warm, encouraging, and highly effective therapist. From both a professional and parent perspective, I cannot recommend Katherine enough. If you are looking for the best of the best for your child, you MUST contact Katherine at North Star.”

“I worked with Dr. Katherine via Zoom calls for preventative speech and language sessions. I really learned how I can help my daughter (14 months) gain all the skills to get her to talk on time. Katherine has such a wonderful demeanor with my little one (even though it was via zoom)! She explained things to me and my husband to help us understand how language develops and gave us practical  things to try at home to help our daughter. Our daughter now has several words and I can relax quite a bit more because I now see the progress she is making daily in her speech skills! Thank you Dr. Katherine! I highly recommend her if you want to make sure your little one is on track with language.“
-Parent of a patient

“Katherine shines among other speech-language therapists as a master clinician. She provides quality therapy that is uniquely tailored to each child’s needs and interests. Furthermore, Katherine establishes meaningful relationships with families in order to provide comprehensive support. Navigating all the resources available for your child can be a scary and daunting task. Katherine coaches parents in terms they can understand and in a way that feels manageable. Katherine is the gold-standard for speech-language pathologists. “

Mentorship & Leadership

“Katherine provides the highest level of support and supervision for her students, clinical fellows, and colleagues. She educates her students and clinical fellows through example, reference to research, constructive feedback, and skilled guidance.”
-Mentee

“Being a new clinician in the field of speech and language can be challenging and very overwhelming. Having Katherine as my supervisor and mentor made work not only manageable, but truly enjoyable. She was approachable, warm, and extremely knowledgeable. When I had questions or concerns about my skills, Katherine encouraged me to self-reflect with thoughtful questions and directed me to relevant evidence-based research. I felt empowered and therefore comfortable to make mistakes, research, and grow as a clinician. Watching Katherine skillfully commit herself to the children and families she serves inspires me, and all who are fortunate enough to work beside her, to strive to that same level of excellence. Katherine is an extraordinary mentor and clinician, and I am grateful to have benefited from her direct guidance and example.”
