Hi, I’m Meredith—Speech-Language Pathologist and founder of Open Gate Therapy Co.

I created Open Gate to be a place where individuals can show up exactly as they are—no pressure, no pretense—just room to grow.

With experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults across a wide range of communication needs, my approach is rooted in connection first. I use evidence-based practices within a neurodiversity-affirming framework, focusing on functional communication, confidence, and meaningful progress in everyday life—whether that’s a child finding their voice, a teen building social understanding, or an adult strengthening communication and self-advocacy skills.

In addition to my professional background, I’m also a parent to neurodivergent children. That lived experience shapes how I show up in this work—with empathy, flexibility, and a deep respect for each individual and family’s journey.

Outside of therapy, you’ll find me on an adventure with my three kids, writing, on the golf course, at a rodeo, or along the Oregon coast—places that keep me grounded and connected to what matters most. I’m passionate about advocacy and creating spaces where individuals with disabilities feel truly seen, supported, and included.
