“We are all going through something.” – Anonymous. Feeling stuck, overwhelmed and unable to move forward and live your best life? Oftentimes it’s about your relationships, communicating with your partner, major decisions, or facing life’s unexpected challenges. Every so often it can even be those long-standing issues that you’ve been able to deal with, but this time, you just need a little help. To be human is to be in a relationship. Relationships can be with your spouse or partner, with your family, or even with Yourself.
My internship was at the Sacramento VA, where I gained expertise in CBT for depression and anxiety, mindfulness, grief therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I've earned provider certification for Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), the gold standard for PTSD/trauma. I can provide Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), for resilience and stress reduction.
We all have the potential to live a fulfilling, rewarding life. Then something happens, whether it’s circumstances, conflict, or trauma, life goes awry, and it can be hard to know how to fix it. I firmly believe that we have the ability to heal ourselves and our relationships, with expert help from us at the Relationship Therapy Center. Let's talk.
