Our Story
Since becoming a speech therapist, Caitlin always found purpose in helping children develop their communication skills so that their personalities could shine through and they could deepen their relationships with others. She lived for the moments when a child could tell their parents a joke or “I love you” for the first time. These were the moments that families wanted - moments of just being with their child.
After becoming a mother to her daughter and son, Caitlin could relate to so many of the families she had supported throughout the years. Since both of her children ended up having needs that required support, it was difficult to focus on those seemingly little moments amidst trying to find answers, navigate our healthcare system, and attend various appointments.
All of this has led Caitlin to find what she believes to be her calling - Radiant Moments Pediatric Therapy. Through her own practice, she has been able to provide comprehensive speech and feeding therapy to help families find answers, see their child thrive, and focus on all of life’s radiant moments.
