Therapy for Young Adults

I primarily work with clients ages 18-30—a time of transition, opportunity, and uncertainty. Young adulthood brings major life decisions, but it’s also a time to slow down and ask: What truly matters to me? Therapy offers a space to explore your wants, needs, and preferences, helping you better understand the challenges before you and consider how you want to proceed. Whether navigating relationships, career shifts, independence, or personal identity, therapy provides the clarity to approach these decisions in a way that aligns with your values and long-term goals. Below are key areas I help young adults and students work through in therapy.

Navigating Identity & Independence in Young Adulthood

Defining Who You Are & How You Want to Live

Young adulthood is a time of big questions:what kind of life are you building, and how do your daily choices reflect that? How much social connection do you need, and how do you balance relationships with personal time? What kind of friendships and partnerships feel fulfilling? Therapy offers space to explore these uncertainties, helping you make choices that align with your values while staying true to yourself. Whether navigating independence, balancing family connections, or redefining what meaning looks like for you, therapy supports you in shaping a life that reflects both who you are now and who you are becoming.

Navigating Differences With Family

Many young adults struggle with the tension of wanting independence while managing family expectations. Whether it’s difficulty separating from the values and dynamics you were raised with or guilt about setting boundaries, therapy helps you explore autonomy, make choices rooted in your own values, and step into a clearer sense of self.

Building & Sustaining Relationships

Rebuilding Connection After College

After college, friendships don’t form as effortlessly. They require intention and effort. Many find themselves feeling isolated, unsure of how to build new connections or maintain existing ones. Therapy helps you navigate this shift, explore what kind of social life feels fulfilling, and develop confidence in forming and deepening relationships in ways that align with your needs and values.

Navigating the Complexities of Modern Dating

Dating, whether in person or through apps, can feel overwhelming. Uncertainty, rejection, and the pressure to find the right match often create frustration. Even in a relationship, doubts about compatibility can arise. Therapy helps explore attachment patterns, expectations, and self-sabotaging behaviors—providing clarity, confidence, and the space to build relationships that truly align with your needs and values.

Developing your Career and Ambition

Uncertainty About Career & Life Direction

Feeling stuck, unsure, or overwhelmed by career decisions is a common challenge. Young adulthood comes with pressure to "figure things out," but many feel lost between financial stability, personal fulfillment, and societal expectations. Therapy helps untangle career-related fears, identify strengths, and redefine success in a way that supports both ambition and emotional well-being.

Managing Work Stress, Balance & Burnout

Early professional years come with new challenges: difficult bosses, workplace anxiety, financial stress, and the pressure to prove yourself. Some overwork, while others struggle to find motivation. Therapy helps explore imposter syndrome, set boundaries, and develop strategies for navigating professional relationships while maintaining your well-being.
