OUR STORY
At Lynchpin Speech Therapy, we believe that everybody deserves to access to communication and community. Without access to communication, we lose access to meaningful participation in life.
Communication is the key to connecting with the world around us; with our family, friends and the larger community. There is nothing more intrinsically motivating than being heard and understood.
We provide neurodiversity-affirming and strengths-based speech-language therapy because everyone deserves to be empowered individuals, positively connected with their community.
MEET KIMBERLI
Growing up in Malaysia, a multicultural/multilingual country, communication, connection and community with others has always been a core value of mine. Along with the growth mindset that was instilled in me, I founded Lynchpin Speech Therapy to build an inclusive community centered in play, exploration and problem-solving, bridging individuality and evidence-based practice.
​
I have been practicing as a speech-language pathologist since 2020 working with people across the lifespan in private practice, hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. My experiences solidified my belief that communication is more than speech or language, it is the lynchpin to connection with our loved ones and those around us.
When I'm not working, I love to connect with others through dance, board games and escape rooms. Looking forward to connecting with you too!

“Being able to say what I want to say,
to whoever I want to say it to,
whenever I want to say it, however I choose to say it.”
