Occupational Therapy

Marissa is a passionate Occupational Therapist with over 7 years experience working with children, teens and young adults. She is deeply committed to providing holistic, client- and family-centred interventions that honour each child’s unique strengths, needs, and goals. She takes a neuroaffirming approach to therapy, valuing neurodiversity and focusing on building capacity, confidence, and meaningful participation in everyday life. Marissa believes that strong, collaborative relationships with children and families are the foundation of effective therapy and strives to create a safe, supportive environment where children can thrive.

​

Marissa’s areas of passion include supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Developmental Delays and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), sensory integration differences, executive functioning challenges, and building confidence in self-care skills such as toileting and dressing. She also has a keen interest in infants and has done further training that allow her to support the whole family unit flourish from birth onwards.

Marissa will consult Mondays – Wednesdays from April 2026, and offers sessions in-clinic, at your home, in the community (including preschool or school settings), and via telehealth.
