Client Testimonials

  • "Working with Maddy over the last 4 years has been absolutely life-changing for my daughter E. With Maddy's thoughtful guidance, my daughter has not only improved her verbal speech, but she has also become more confident in her overall communication. What sets Maddy apart from other SLPs is that she takes the time to truly understand each child's needs and tailors their unique learning plan to reach individual goals. Maddy possesses a rare ability in connecting with each child individually and her play-based approach to therapy makes learning engaging, fun, and effective. Maddy's genuine warmth and dedication shines through everything she does, and she has been instrumental in my daughter's growth and development. Maddy truly cares about the children she works with and actively works to support them and their families. My family and I are so grateful for everything Maddy has done for E, and we look forward to continuing to work with her for many years to come. Thank you Maddy, for helping E find the words she wants to say!"

  • "We worked with Maddy to support our son’s learning and our experience was exceptional. She was so helpful, positive, and constructive in all of our sessions and our son felt comfortable and encouraged. Maddy’s professionalism and patience stood out along with her deep knowledge of child development. Even when he had off days, Maddy had the skills to work through these moments with him with a gentle but firm demeanor. She didn’t just work with our son, she went above and beyond and supported us as parents with thoughtful guidance on how to better help him thrive. We’re so grateful to have had her in our corner!"
