About Me

10_edited.png
13_edited_edited.png

I am an ASHA-certified Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) based in Hays, Kansas, and the founder and owner of Sunflower Speech Therapy of Kansas. I provide both in-person and teletherapy services, which I find equally rewarding. My passion lies in engaging with children and making a meaningful impact on their communication skills.

My Why

I always knew I wanted to work with children, but I wasn’t sure teaching was the right path for me. One day, while babysitting a young girl recovering from cancer treatment, I witnessed something that changed my life. Due to radiation, she had developed facial paralysis, and during my time with her, her speech-language pathologist came for a session. I was amazed by how fun and interactive the therapy was—they were playing, laughing, and building communication skills at the same time. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to become a speech-language pathologist. My goal as an SLP is to create therapy experiences that are both enjoyable and impactful, helping children develop strong and confident communication skills.

I am originally from Colorado, but I adventured to Kansas for college. I received my Bachelors's and Master's degree at Fort Hays State University. 

Education

Home

I live in Hays, Kansas with my daughter. Hays is our home and I strive to be a huge part of it's community.

Services Provided

1st Step

I believe it is highly important to find the best provider for your child. I would love to be that person. I offer free consultations to personally get to know you and your child and discuss your communication concerns and goals for your child.

It is not required, but it is recommended that you receive a speech and language referral from your child's physician (FAQ). 

2nd Step

An evaluation is a huge step to determine the level of your child's communication skills compared to children of the same age. An evaluation can also determine needed services as well as goals that should be targeted in speech therapy.

If your child has a current or recent evaluation from the school, this document most likely will be accepted.

3rd Step

Now the fun begins! I will create personally designed goals based on your child's communication needs. We will work together to improve these skills through specially designed instruction and engaging activities.

​

I currently work with children (ages 2-16) with speech, fluency, and language delays or disorders. If you have any questions about whether your child fits in one of these categories, please email me or set up a free consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

10_edited.png

Can I attend my child's therapy session?

​

Of course! It is actually encouraged for a parent/caregiver to be involved so that they can learn techniques and skills to carry over into their child's everyday life. 

How long are therapy sessions?

​

The length of the session can depend on many factors, including the severity of the disorder/ delay and the child's age. Sessions usually average from 30-60 minutes per week.  

Do you accept insurance?

​

Sunflower Speech Kansas is currently in network with BlueCross BlueShield, TriWest, Luminare Health, United Commercial, Aetna Commercial, Kansas Medicaid. For those who have out-of-network insurance, you can submit a superbill to your insurance for reimbursement.

How do I know if insurance will cover my visit?

​

You can call the number provided on your insurance card to ask about their process for filing out-of-network claims. For more information on how to do this, click on the attachment below.

Why do you recommend a Doctor's referral?

​

While I do not require a doctor's referral in order to provide services to your child, I do recommend one. I recommend it solely for insurance purposes. All insurances are different and may only cover speech services if it is ordered by a physician. If you are concerned about insurance coverage, please check with your insurance to see what they will and will not cover.
