Speech Therapist
Kayla Kavanaugh, M.S., CCC-SLP
I am passionate about helping individuals thrive in communication. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy - looking beyond the client’s speech and language challenges to understand their emotional, physical, social, and sensory needs. My goal is to support the whole person, not just the symptoms, so therapy is meaningful and lasts beyond the session. I also have a special interest in Orofacial Myofunctional therapy. I believe in its ability to improve oral function, speech, sleep, and facial development. At the heart of everything I do is the belief that everyone deserves the chance to communicate, connect, and be understood.​
