A person with short light hair, glasses, and earrings stands in front of ocean waves wearing a red top, embodying the calm and self-assurance that mental health services like Choices Psychotherapy help inspire.

As a psychologist I see myself as a facilitator and guide during treatment sessions. Together with the client we identify issues that need to be resolved. We will use humor, positive reframing and compassion to challenge the thinking patterns that interfere with functioning effectively in current life circumstances. It is expected that the skills developed during our meetings will be tested in the “real world” and the results will be reviewed together to identify any areas needing change.
