I would describe my treatment style as eclectic. What this means is that I pull from different evidence based treatments to customize what works best for each client. I do use a lot of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Client Centered therapy in sessions. I often utilize humor when appropriate as well!
