Kimberley Kaufman, (OTA)
Hi, I’m Kim! I work as an occupational therapist assistant (OTA) under the supervision of Heidi Watson. I mainly work with children and young adults who need support to handle the stressors and symptoms of ADHD, ASD, anxiety, depression, and PDA. I am committed to learning as much as possible about supporting children, youth, and young adults on their developmental journey. I am a 3rd-year Bachelor of Social Work student learning about and implementing creative interventions, evidence-based and person-centered approaches, and incorporating strengths-based practices. My experience working with young adults and children as a swimming instructor helps me continue to learn and try again when I miss the mark in sessions! Fun fact: I love animals and can be found trying to befriend any I meet. As a born and raised farmgirl, I’ve met cows, horses, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, and chickens. Out of all these hundreds of animals, I have only met three (my sister’s cat, a cow born the same year as me, and a rooster) I could not befriend. Kimberley Kaufman

Alberta Services
Jenessa Spencer (Occupational Therapist)
Hello, my name is Jenessa Spencer, and I’m an Occupational Therapist registered with the Alberta College of Occupational Therapists (ACOT). Through the University of Manitoba, I completed the Master of Occupational Therapy program and received a bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology. I have experience providing support for children and adolescents with developmental or cognitive disorders, sensory processing challenges, self- regulation challenges, and navigating through trauma. As an OT, I look at all aspects of the individual and seek to understand the relationship between one’s personal characteristics, environmental factors, and participation in daily occupations (tasks/activities). Gaining this understanding can help to determine where further support or positive changes can be made to help improve one’s daily function and well-being. I use a client-centered and strength-based approach with each client, and I seek to create an environment that feels safe and inviting for all individuals. My aim is for individuals to leave each session with a sense of empowerment as they work towards reaching their unique goals.

I currently provide virtual programming under the supervision of one of our Occupational Therapists, working primarily with children on the autism spectrum. I bring hands-on experience in the autism field and am currently completing my studies in Autism and Behavioural Science. I’m passionate about helping children build skills, confidence, and independence through engaging, individualized therapy. What motivates me the most is seeing my clients thrive, there’s truly nothing more rewarding than watching a child learn and grow through our work together. I’m excited to be part of a supportive and dedicated team making a meaningful difference every day.

Heidi Watson, (OT Reg)
Hi, I’m Heidi. As a dedicated occupational therapist passionate about empowering individuals to achieve their fullest potential, I am thrilled to be part of the Therapy Works team. With over 10 years of experience in pediatrics, I am committed to supporting children, youth, and young adults on their developmental journey. I hold a Masters in Occupational Therapy from the University of Manitoba and am a registered member of the College of Occupational Therapy of Ontario (COTO). My expertise lies in conducting comprehensive assessments, developing customized intervention plans, and implementing evidence-based therapy strategies. Whether providing therapeutic interventions, collaborating with schools, or advocating for inclusive environments, I am dedicated to facilitating successful therapeutic outcomes. I love exploring nature through hiking, boating, and snowshoeing in my free time. When not immersed in my occupational therapy work, I often express my creativity through art. I enjoy painting and sewing as outlets for self-expression and relaxation. Heidi Watson – MOT, BSc
Quinn Medcke (Occupational Therapist)
Quinn is a dedicated Occupational Therapist with a diverse clinical background and a passion for creative, inclusive care. Currently supporting seniors in long-term care and patients in acute care with functional rehabilitation, recovery, and getting back to doing the everyday activities that matter most to them. Quinn brings a wealth of experience in supporting individuals through complex medical and functional challenges. In addition to their in-person practice, Quinn is excited to be joining Tumbleweed Health Services, a company that harnesses the power of video games and virtual therapy to support children with various needs through engaging, meaningful interventions. A lifelong gamer, Quinn discovered early on how games can connect people, build skills, and foster a sense of belonging. That passion now fuels their innovative approach to therapy, where clinical expertise meets play-based strategies to help clients of all ages thrive. With a deep commitment to inclusion, Quinn strives to create therapeutic spaces where every individual feels seen, supported, and empowered.
Kimberley Kaufman, (OTA)
Hi, I’m Kim! I work as an occupational therapist assistant (OTA) under the supervision of Heidi Watson. I mainly work with children and young adults who need support to handle the stressors and symptoms of ADHD, ASD, anxiety, depression, and PDA. I am committed to learning as much as possible about supporting children, youth, and young adults on their developmental journey. I am a 3rd-year Bachelor of Social Work student learning about and implementing creative interventions, evidence-based and person-centered approaches, and incorporating strengths-based practices. My experience working with young adults and children as a swimming instructor helps me continue to learn and try again when I miss the mark in sessions! Fun fact: I love animals and can be found trying to befriend any I meet. As a born and raised farmgirl, I’ve met cows, horses, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, and chickens. Out of all these hundreds of animals, I have only met three (my sister’s cat, a cow born the same year as me, and a rooster) I could not befriend. Kimberley Kaufman
