Therapy That Looks Like Play. Progress That Shows Up at Home.
Whether your child isn't talking yet, you’re concerned about their development, or they already get speech therapy elsewhere, we’re here to partner with you on this journey to stronger connection and communication.
At Magro Speech Therapy, we believe in:
-
We partner with parents to both understand and support your child's speech and language in a way that is meaningful for your family.
-
Trained in specialized methods like DTTC (for apraxia), Gestalt Language Processing, AAC, using neurodiversity-affirming, and research-based strategies.
-
Guiding your child’s learning and growth through play-based therapy and genuine connection.
-
We prioritize building connection and trust as the necessary foundation to a positive therapeutic relationship.
We turn tricky sounds into clear, confident words so your child goes from “huh?” to “heard!”
Helping your child find their own way to communicate. Through connection, play, and what lights them up!
From “not yet” to “they won’t stop talking!” We help grow your child’s speech and language through play.
Giving your child a voice that works for them. So they can connect, express, and be understood.

I’m a licensed, certified pediatric speech-language pathologist (SLP) with six+ years of experience helping children communicate. My clinical specialties include AAC (augmentative and alternative communication), speech sound disorders, and neurodiversity-affirming practices for supporting autistic children. I believe therapy should be play-based, research-driven, and individualized to meet your child and family’s needs/goals!
My favorite thing about being an SLP: watching a child learn to connect with the world around them through communication that is meaningful and works for them. Whether that’s spoken words, signs, gestures, or AAC, I’m in it for the long haul and committed to finding the tools and strategies that help your child thrive.

Magro Speech Therapy is private pediatric speech therapy clinic built to give Olean-area families something they couldn't find before. I created MST with a dream to build a practice that empowers parents, embraces neurodiversity, and delivers therapy that is both evidence-based and deeply meaningful.
We’re proud to keep expanding, not only through therapy services but also through community events, advocacy work, and creating resources that support families beyond the therapy room.
-
I’m a mom of two energetic boys, a wife, a daughter, and a lover of strong coffee and community. At the very core of Magro Speech Therapy is a simple value: to provide the same quality of services we would want for our own children.
Like you, I’m in the trenches… juggling school pick-ups, appointments, meltdowns, milestones, and that never-ending to-do list. This perspective shapes how we approach families: with empathy, flexibility, and real-life understanding.
Together, we become a team. Working to build confidence, connection, and communication through play and practical strategies that fit into your everyday life.
Whether your child is finding their “voice” or navigating communication challenges, you don’t have to face it alone. With Magro Speech Therapy, you have a trusted partner committed to helping your child thrive.

I’m a licensed, certified pediatric speech-language pathologist (SLP) dedicated to helping children communicate.
My favorite thing about being an SLP: Celebrating the small wins that make a big difference. I love watching a child’s world open up as their communication grows, especially when families start seeing those changes in everyday moments.
-
Outside the clinic, I love spending time with my nieces and being part of their growth. At home, you’ll usually find me with my husband and our little crew of pets: Noodle the dog, Gnocchi the cat, Baked Ziti the hamster, and Azirel the fish. I also own a small book company, which feeds my love for stories and creativity.
