Therapy for young adults

You can create something beautiful and satisfying out of your experiences, even in the face of a traumatic past and uncertain future.

Therapy made for you

My approach is catered to your needs. What brings you to therapy is a focus, but I also acknowledge that the past informs the present. We may take that past on directly or keep it in mind as a minor theme. Insight combined with action are often the keys to change.

Where you might be stuck

Here are some common places where emerging adults get stuck.:

• Figuring out who you are

• Dealing with instability in living situations, academics, career, or relationships

• Caught up in the painful effects of complex trauma from childhood and adolescence

• Feeling in between, not a kid, but not fully an adult

• Excitement for what is to come combined with dread and fear around the responsibilities of adulthood

Therapy provides a safe space for you to work through roadblocks. We create room to forge your own path.

 Who I work with

I resonate most with young adults struggling with family of origin issues, discrimination, and experiences of trauma and loss. These issues and experiences often lead to depression, anxiety, and worries about not being good enough or able to make healthy decisions. I am able to be present when you are hopeless and help you see the good within.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is relational, attachment-based, and rooted in making sense out of what may be operating under the surface.

 In our initial sessions, I will gather information about both your current life and your history. From there, our sessions will focus on present issues and what may be influencing them. We may look at family and unconscious patterns at work. In addition, I take a social justice stance and always consider the effects of  your identities, social forces, and differences between us and how these factors affect you and our therapeutic relationship.
