Meet Taylor
(She, her, hers)

Welcome to Venture Speech! I'm Taylor, a neurodivergent speech language pathologist 🗣️located in Golden, Colorado. I became a speech language pathologist because I am fueled ☕by talking, learning, and spending time with people. I am passionate about helping kids to find their voice and express themselves fully. 

 

I received my undergraduate degree at Kent State University, Ohio ⚡, where I also ran on the cross country and track team. I graduated with my masters degree in Speech Language Pathology from the University of Akron, Ohio 🦘.  

 

I have experience in the following settings: 

  • Private practice

  • Nature-based schools

  • Aquatic therapy pools

  • Home health

  • Public schools

  • Teletherapy

  • Autism clinics

  • Day cares

  • Montessori schools​

  • ​Vocational programs

Outside of work, you'll probably find me moving 🏃‍♀️ and grooving 💃around the mountains: rock climbing, running, skiing, and camping. I also love to take advantage of all our community has to offer: our fabulous coffee shops, gyms, and local parks. In my downtime (and sometimes with clients!) I find joy in volunteering, playing board games, and creating artwork. I'm incredibly grateful to my partner, family, friends, teachers, coworkers, and employers for encouraging me on this journey every step of the way 👣.

Client Testimonials

"My daughter, Mary Alice, received speech therapy from Taylor two days a week. One day through telehealth and one day in the pool. I cannot say enough good things about this combination of therapies. In her telehealth sessions, Mary Alice is able to do close, intentional, and specific work on her speech production; In her pool sessions, she gets to put that isolated work into practice through play.
