About Colleen

Hi, I'm Colleen! I graduated with my masters in Occupational Therapy in 2013 from the University of Alberta and have diverse experience working with children and adults as both a mental health therapist and occupational therapist. My practice is characterized by a holistic approach to child development and overall family wellness. Since becoming a parent myself, my passion lies in empowering parents to become emotionally regulated, steady, and sturdy pillars of support for their children. I believe that by helping parents manage their own sensory needs effectively, they can create a more nurturing and stable environment for their families. Parenting is hard, and I want to help build your capacity to enjoy these family years. Parental Mental Health Coaching Approach Emotional Regulation Techniques: Teaching parents practical strategies to recognize and manage their emotions, even in high-stress situations. Mindful Parenting: Introducing mindfulness practices that help parents stay present and responsive to their children's needs. Attachment-Based Strategies: Methods are rooted in attachment theory, fostering secure parent-child relationships. Child Development: Providing education on & promoting age-appropriate skills and milestones across all developmental domains. Play-Based Therapy: Utilizing play as a powerful tool for learning, development, and healing.- Sensory Processing Education: Helping parents understand and address their own sensory needs, as well as their children’s to reduce family stress. Feeding Therapy Approach As a mom to three young children, all of whom had tethered oral tissues and various feeding struggles, I understand how stressful feeding can be. These experiences inspired me to specialize further as a pediatric feeding therapist. My hope is that mealtime can become be a time of connection and comfort for all family members. My approach to therapy is to come alongside children and their families with comprehensive assessment to understand the ‘why’ behind feeding struggles. Then we can collaborate together to make a plan that is meaningful, functional, and fun. In addition to parent coaching, and feeding therapy, I am happy to support activities of daily living, fine/gross motor development, emotional regulation, and sensory processing. I look forward to supporting you!
