She went on to graduate with a professional Master of Education in School and Applied Child Psychology (MEd SACP) at the University of Calgary in 2022. This program utilized a practitioner-scholar model, equipping Haley with three years of relevant theory and clinical practice in psycho-educational assessment and evidence-based interventions, including residencies, practicums, and a 1,200-hour internship. She completed her internship under the supervision of Dr. Arnold, gaining in-depth mentorship in her psychological framework and professional ethos. Following graduation, Haley continued to work under Dr. Arnold as a psychometrist, conducting comprehensive assessments. She later pursued registration as a psychologist in Alberta, completing 1,600 hours of supervised clinical practice as a provisional psychologist before becoming fully registered. Haley is now a Registered Psychologist in British Columbia, where she provides both assessments and therapy services.
Areas of Specialty
Haley conducts psycho-educational, ADHD, and autism assessments to evaluate a range of developmental, learning, and social-emotional-behavioural concerns (e.g., giftedness, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, ADHD, etc.). She also provides therapy for children, adolescents, and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, social challenges, low self-esteem, and difficulties with stress management.

She aims to make every session a collaborative, supported, and positive experience through establishing strong rapport and offering warm encouragement each step of the way.
