Theoretical Orientation
My preferred theoretical orientation is eclectic and includes approaches adopted from a variety of theories; including client-centered; cognitive-behavioral; and experiential. While I do not believe that one theoretical approach works for every individual, I do believe that that the relational rapport built between the psychotherapist and the client is critical to a successful therapeutic experience.
