Hayley, Speech Pathologist

Hayley is passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with children and their families.

She believes that when children feel safe, supported, and understood, real progress can happen. Hayley takes a neurodiversity-affirming approach to therapy, celebrating each child’s unique strengths, communication styles, and interests. Her sessions are guided by curiosity, connection, and a deep respect for each child’s individuality.

Before becoming a speech pathologist, Hayley spent close to a decade working with children across different settings, including as an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher in South Korea and as a Taekwondo master. Hayley has a special interest in early language development, parent coaching, and literacy intervention.

When she’s not working, Hayley enjoys crocheting, baking, learning new languages, and spending time outdoors with friends and family. She’s also a competitive powerlifter and holds a second degree black belt in Taekwondo.
