It is my fervent hope that the field of Psychology is an agent to empower positive change in both the individual and society at large. I’ve connected to the field as a teacher, researcher, clinician and coach, each time with this intention towards service of a greater humanity. I am forever fascinated by people and will be a lifelong student.
Whether through teaching, researching, learning, or application, Amanda has been involved in the field of Psychology for over 20 years. She believes in both the impact of peer-reviewed research and the importance of lived experiences, and strives to be inclusive in her work with open thinking.
