M.S., CCC-SLP

Howdy! I’m Nina! I’m a speech-language pathologist who believes that the best learning happens through play, curiosity, and connection.

I created Hello Yellow Speech to make speech therapy feel fun and exciting instead of just another task. Play-based therapy is my favorite because it gives kids the space to explore new words and sounds in a joyful, relaxed way. When children are having fun, their confidence grows, and that’s when the magic truly happens!

You’ll often find me meeting families out in the community at the park, the grocery store, or even a favorite coffee shop. Real-life moments make the best opportunities for real communication. These everyday experiences help children practice speech and language skills in meaningful, functional ways that truly stick.

My greatest joy is watching little ones discover their voices and seeing families celebrate each milestone along the way.  When I’m not in a therapy session, I love hunting for treasures at local thrift stores (I can never resist a good find!) or searching for the best bagel shop in Phoenix.

I can’t wait to meet you and your child. Let’s make learning to talk an exciting, joy-filled journey together!
