Meet Rose
Hello! I am a neurodiverse speech-language pathologist serving families in the DMV area, Montana, and Texas. My specialty is supporting children from birth to early elementary school age while also offering strategies and guidance to the families of these children. My mission is to make every child feel heard and empower them to communicate with all! Originally from Montana and now in DC, I enjoy any and all outdoor activities, being a crazy plant lady, whipping up delicious desserts, and traveling to visit family and friends!
