Specializing in Therapy, Assessment, and Neurodiverse Populations, Heidi is a Registered Provisional Psychologist (AB) with expertise in therapy and psychological assessment for individuals of all ages and abilities. With extensive experience working with neurodiverse populations and their families, Heidi is passionate about helping individuals understand how factors like intellectual ability, memory, attention, sensory processing, social-emotional functioning, and socio-cultural influences intersect to shape unique neurotypes and learning profiles. Heidi will be working at the Compass clinic under clinical supervision with a Registered Psychologist in BC.

Heidi’s approach is strength-based, focusing on building confidence and fostering positive change within individuals and their family systems. She believes that growth and learning are most effective when children and adults feel safe, supported, and connected. Through her work, she provides individualized, practical strategies to address a range of challenges, from learning differences to emotional regulation, ADHD, anxiety, and social relationships. In addition to her training in assessment and diagnosis of neurodevelopmental and mood disorders, Heidi collaborates with families, school teams, and other professionals to ensure children with diverse needs are placed in environments where they can thrive. Her work is guided by a neurodiverse-affirming, trauma-sensitive lens that emphasizes collaboration and prioritizes each individual’s unique strengths and needs.

Heidi holds a master’s degree in School and Applied Child Psychology (MSc, 2022) from the University of Calgary and a Master of Health Science (MSc, 2016) from the University of Prince Edward Island. She has also gained valuable experience working in hospital and research settings as part of multidisciplinary teams. Outside of work, Heidi enjoys walking and running, trying new restaurants with her family, or relaxing with a good book.
