Young Adult Therapy
Transitioning to independence and into adult roles and responsibilities can be exciting, but it is also a stressful and emotionally demanding time of life.
I work with students and early career professionals in their 20s who are feeling pressure to succeed, as well as those struggling with:
- Anxiety
- Self-judgment
- Mood concerns
- Relationship difficulties
- Questions about identity
- Executive functioning challenges
- Internal struggles that are more confusing or difficult to talk about
Stuck in a loop?
You may find yourself stuck in loops of self-criticism, self-doubt, or comparison. Perhaps you are quietly struggling while still managing to keep up with school or work.
Or maybe the demands of this stage of life have started to feel overwhelming, leaving you feeling exhausted, discouraged, disconnected, or unsure of yourself and your future.
You're not alone.
If this is you, or if you are looking for support for the young adult you love, please know that you are not alone. This is a very common time to struggle.
Our Work May Include...
A strengths-based approach, focusing on leveraging your unique capacities while understanding challenges with compassion and clarity
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to build inner leadership and support more effective, self-led action
Clarifying your values and goals, and addressing questions of identity, while building a strong and resilient sense of self
Developing a practice of self-compassion and gently noticing where you can be your own harshest critic
Developing routines, self-care practices and coping strategies that support emotional wellbeing and daily functioning
Building social and emotional skills for healthier relationships and a life you can feel proud of
Self-Compassion as Your Foundation
A difficult period in life does not define or limit what is possible for your future. You can emerge from this stage with greater resilience, life skills, and deeper connection to yourself and others. An important part of your support team will be a skilled and experienced therapist who sees your strengths, keeps an open mind, and believes in your future.
