Therapy for Young Adults
Early adulthood can feel exciting, disorienting, and heavy all at once. Therapy can help you navigate it with more clarity and confidence.
The young adult years often come with major transitions like graduating, starting a career, moving out, building relationships, or adjusting to responsibilities that no one really prepared you for. You may be feeling anxious, isolated, stuck, burnt out, or unsure of what comes next. Even when things look “fine” from the outside, this phase of life can bring a lot of internal pressure.
Therapy offers a supportive space to process what you’re going through, understand yourself more deeply, and build healthier ways of coping and moving forward.
Common Reasons Young Adults Come to Therapy
• Anxiety, overthinking, or panic
• Depression, isolation, or feeling stuck after big transitions
• Burnout or overwhelm related to work, school, or daily responsibilities
• Relationship stress, breakups, or unhealthy patterns
• Family tension or changing family dynamics
• Low self-esteem, self-doubt, or feeling behind in life
• Difficulty navigating independence and adult responsibilities
• Questions about identity, values, faith, or purpose
• Major decisions about career, relationships, or next steps
What Therapy Can Look Like for Young Adults
You do not need to have a clear plan before starting therapy. Our work will be collaborative, I’ll meet you where you are and help you develop insight, coping tools, and a stronger sense of direction.
In therapy, we might:
• Explore what is behind the anxiety, stress, sadness, or uncertainty
• Identify thought patterns that keep you stuck and shift them using tools from CBT
• Build emotional regulation and coping skills for everyday life
• Work through relationship challenges, boundaries, and communication
• Process transitions with more self-understanding and resilience
• Explore your values, goals, and the kind of life you want to build
It is not about having everything together. It is about creating space to be honest about where you are, and helping you move toward what feels healthier, steadier, and more aligned.
A Space That Feels Grounding
My office is designed to feel warm, calm, and comfortable, not clinical or intimidating. You’re welcome to grab a cozy blanket, use something from the "comfort menu," or just take a breath before we get started.
Prefer to meet online? I also offer virtual sessions via Zoom for California residents.
