"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" - Lao Tzu Are you ready to take the first step? Working from a client-centered approach, I strive to empower my clients by helping them build a tool box they can use to work through their current and subsequent issues . This process does not follow a specific template as each client is unique and the expert of their own lives. It is through collaborative exploration that the client identifies what they need and how to get there.

I understand that people are the experts in their own lives and offer specific, individualized tools that they can utilize throughout their lives.

In our lives we can have sadness, anxiety, anger, fears, work/ family stressors, negative self talk, and trouble setting healthy boundaries that sometimes are hard to navigate on our own. I want to provide you with a safe space to share and hopefully, together we can begin to find the best place to start making positive change! This type of therapy can also work well in conjunction with other therapy if you already have a regular therapist. Being a Certified Nurse (LPN) Psychotherapist, I can also support individuals with a well-rounded approach to health and can help you to navigate within the community.

Ever since I can recall, I've been intrigued by the complexity of the human mind. My journey in psychology began as an undergraduate, where I delved into the foundational theories and the more I learned, the more I realized that psychology is not just a subject; it's a lens where we can understand ourselves and others. I believe that every individual's unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to psychological well-being. My approach is deeply personalized, focusing on your specific needs, goals, and strengths. I work collaboratively with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your values and aspirations.

Hi there! My Name is Amanda and I am a Provisional Psychologist working with clients within the Beaumont, Spruce Grove and virtual communities. Throughout my career I have had the pleasure of working with individuals who are feeling stuck, are experiencing anxiety and depression, diagnosed with personality disorders, have survived both "big and small" trauma's or who are wrestling with finding their purpose or sense of identity. I view the therapy space through a trauma informed, attachment focused and client-centered lens.

Specialized Assessments: Do you require a psychological assessment to give you insight into you or your child’s psychological functioning and to provide you with information on how you or your child could be supported?

Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing - especially the humor part! Which is why they are benchmarks of my clinical practice. Combined together, the healing force created is a 'game changer' in people's lives. My approach to psychotherapy is person centered (congrats, you are unique! Your therapy should be too), grounded in attachment theory (relationships are our friend! Don't argue...everyone needs a friend) and developmental psychology (we all go through life changes, change suucks, but it's unavoidable). All this guides our path to wellness. Heads up - standard credential speech ahead...
