Hello there! I’m Sydney and I'm a passionate Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA/L) at Tiny Tots!
I graduated from Pima Medical Institute in 2022 and hold a national board certification for occupational therapy (NBCOT) and am professionally licensed in the state of Arizona. I bring a unique blend of empathy and innovation to my work in occupational therapy and have dedicated myself to helping clients achieve their goals through creative and personalized therapy sessions that spark joy and progress through my play-based and functional interventions.
Outside of the office, you'll find me enjoying the great outdoors with my family on hikes, taking trips to the zoo, or having a pool day in the summer months! I’m happily married to my husband Chasen of 3 years and we enjoy our daughter Cassidy and fur baby Chester who fill our days with laughter and love. Our family is also excited to welcome a baby boy to the crew this upcoming June! I look forward to connecting with you and exploring how we can work together to make meaningful strides towards your goals at Tiny Tots!
Cassie
OTR/L
Specializing in our 3 and older population-West Valley
Hi! I’m Cassie and I’m an Occupational Therapist who loves working with the pediatric population! I earned by Bachelors degree from California State University Channel Islands in 2016 in Early Childhood Development and was a preschool teacher before I began my OT journey. I earned my Occupational Therapy Doctorate from Creighton University in 2021. Pediatrics has always been my passion. My specific interests and continuing education are in hippotherapy, aquatic therapy, sensory processing, feeding, and reflex integration. It’s such a blessing to be able to collaborate with families in helping their children learn and grow in their own unique way. I love to use play, the child’s natural environment, and creative interventions to incorporate occupational therapy “work” into daily life and routines!
When I’m not working with clients and their families I love spending time with my own! My husband and I have a 2 year old son and just welcomed our baby girl in January! Being outdoors, traveling, and spending time with our extended family is what takes up most of our days! I look forward to getting to know you and finding ways to meet your child’s individual needs that fit your family best!

COTA/L
Specializing in our 3 and older population- East Valley
I am a dedicated certified occupational therapy assistant who graduated from Browne Mackie College in Phoenix in June 2011 and was nationally board-certified in September of the same year. My specialties are sensory integration, social-emotional learning, and feeding therapy. With 13 years of experience in occupational therapy, I have worked in both outpatient clinics and school settings. I am passionate about supporting all individuals with developmental disabilities and actively seek to bring my compassionate and supportive nature to help children and their families at Tiny Tots Therapy.
In addition to my professional achievements, I am the mother of three adult sons and an advocate for two sons with autism. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, which further enriches my perspective and approach in my professional life.
Ciara
COTA/L
Specializing in our 3 and older population- East Valley
Hi, I’m Ciara and I’m a licensed Occupational Therapy Assistant and a 2024 graduate of Brookline College. Pediatrics has always been a passion of mine. I have been working with children since 2013 in various roles. Helping children grow, learn, and reach their full potential is what fuels my love for occupational therapy. My passion for pediatric also comes with my passion for collaboration with families to encourage and help their children learn and grow within their own way. With a passion for helping children and their families, I will continue to grow and learn within this profession by expanding my skills, including training in feeding therapy to strive to be the best therapist I can be!
In my own time, when I am not working with clients and families, I enjoy outdoor adventures and traveling with my husband, our two wonderful daughters, and our newest furry family member our puppy, Fudge!
Heather
SLP
Specializing in our 3 and older population- East Valley
Hello, my name is Heather Broom and I am a Speech Language Pathologist, specializing in pediatrics. I am originally from Minnesota, however I moved to Arizona to escape the cold. I attended the University of Northern Iowa where I received both my bachelor's and master's degrees. In my free time I love to get outside, read, and spend time with my fur babies, Tilly and Desi. My favorite part of my job is seeing my clients reach their goals and milestones, and having the honor to be a part of that process.
