sand canyon therapy's start
Our journey began with a simple yet profound vision: to offer unparalleled speech-language pathology services in Western Nebraska. We recognized the need for a client-centered approach in a comfortable environment. Our business, founded by SLPs for SLPs, is driven by a commitment to excellence and innovation.
We believe in tailoring therapy to each individual, fostering hope and comfort along the way. Being practitioners ourselves, we bring a unique understanding to the table, allowing us to adapt and innovate beyond industry norms. Our goal is clear – to redefine speech-language pathology, making exceptional care accessible to all. Join us on this journey, where every client finds a future filled with communication, connection, and promise.
I am originally from Perkins and Box Butte counties and currently calling Hemingford, NE, my home. My educational journey led me to the University of Nebraska Lincoln, where I earned my undergraduate degree in Animal Science. Later, I pursued my passion for communication by obtaining a Master of Science degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Nebraska Kearney.
Beyond the world of speech therapy, my heart lies in my family and our ranch near Hemingford. I find joy in assisting my four children with their 4-H projects and working alongside my husband, Lee, on our ranch.
My journey into speech therapy was ignited by a personal experience. When our twins needed speech services at the age of two, the scarcity of SLPs in our community prevented them from receiving the necessary face-to-face assistance. This challenge fueled my determination to be a catalyst for change. Recognizing the need for more SLPs in our area, I returned to school with a mission – to become a Speech-Language Pathologist and make a positive impact on families facing similar situations.
My commitment is not just professional; it's deeply rooted in the desire to help and support our community. As I continue on this fulfilling path, I am driven by the belief that everyone deserves accessible and quality speech services. I am proud to be a part of the solution, helping families like mine thrive through effective communication.
