About Tiny Talk Trio
Compassionate care for children and the families who support them.
Alyssa is a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) who brings together clinical experience, continued learning, and a genuine passion for helping children and families thrive.
As a mom and pediatric provider, Alyssa understands how meaningful—and sometimes overwhelming—the early years can be. Feeding and communication are foundational skills, and when challenges arise, families often need more than a list of exercises or strategies. They need someone who will listen, look at the whole child, and help them understand what is happening.
Tiny Talk Trio was created from Alyssa’s desire to provide that kind of support. Whether helping a newborn establish more comfortable feeding, supporting a family navigating complex feeding needs, helping a toddler with oral aversions, or working with a child developing speech and language skills, care is individualized to each child and family.
Alyssa takes a whole-child, function-focused approach, considering how oral function, movement, sensory experiences, feeding, speech, language, and development work together. Her clinical services include feeding and swallowing therapy, lactation support, speech and language therapy, and orofacial myofunctional therapy. Gentle manual techniques, including Upledger informed craniosacral work, may also be incorporated when appropriate.
At the heart of Tiny Talk Trio is the belief that children learn best when they feel safe, supported, and understood—and parents deserve to feel informed and confident along the way.
Alyssa grew up in the Gallatin Valley and is proud to serve families in the community she calls home. Her Montana roots and broad life experience allow her to meet families where they are and honor the unique values, experiences, and goals of each family.
Beyond clinical care, Alyssa is passionate about strengthening the community around children and families. She has served on the boards of Roots Family Collaborative, Montana Outdoor Science School, and the Mother’s Milk Bank of Montana.
She is honored to walk alongside families during these foundational years and to help children communicate, connect, eat, grow, and thrive.
