Hi, I’m Kristine — a Speech-Language Pathologist dedicated to ensuring the residents of Oceanside area of Vancouver Island (Parksville, Qualicum Beach, & surrounding communities) have access to high-quality, person-centered, in-person communication and swallowing assessment and therapy.  I can offer services in English or in French.

My philosophy as an SLP is centered on Quality of Life, particularly when it comes to communication treatment. Whether it is for stroke recovery, return to work, or managing a neurodegenerative disease, therapy activities and treatment plans should go beyond drills and repetitive exercises. Speech therapy for the adult population should help people stay connected, feel understood, and participate fully in the relationships and activities that matter most to them. Involving caregivers and family members is a big part of this, since they are key partners in treatment and recovery.

The Services I Offer:

I currently work primarily with adults and have experience assessing and treating the following:

Aphasia	Dysarthria
Acquired Apraxia of Speech	Motor Speech Disorders
Dysphagia	Post-stroke communication and swallowing difficulties
Cognitive Communication Disorders	Communication difficulties related to neurodegenerative diagnoses

I also have experience providing treatment for articulation, language, and literacy difficulties in children. Please reach out to discuss the specifics of your request if you are interested in these services.

Request Services:

Please use the link above or contact me directly by phone or by email to book a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your speech, language, communication, or swallowing needs and find out if this is the right fit for you or your loved one.
