Hi!

My name’s Kim. I’m a speech pathologist and the founder of Express Yourself Speech Therapy.

I’m passionate about working in the areas of speech and early language because helping kids improve their communication makes life easier for themselves, their families and everyone around them.

Speech clarity, in particular, is a favourite of mine as the results often make a really significant impact in the social/emotional life of the child I’m working with. Many parents have commented that their child is now making more friends and is more confident because they are now able to be understood by their peers, not just familiar listeners.

Early language is incredibly rewarding when I see my clients become more independent and using/understanding more words. Often I see that difficult behaviours decrease when kids are able to better understand what is going on around them and advocate for themselves using (even simple) language.

In 2014, I began my career as a primary school teacher. I loved working with so many different children and their families but wanted more time to work with each client to give more specific and individually-tailored support. As a speech pathologist, this is possible while continuing to work collaboratively with kids and their families to achieve the goals that are important to them.

When I’m not working, I enjoy cooking (and eating) plant-based food and enjoying the outdoors with my husband, 2 young children and and our little cavoodle, Olive.

But enough about me! What brings you to Express Yourself?
