Therapy for Young Adults
Your 20s (and early 30s) can feel like a lot. New expectations, big decisions, and the pressure to “have it all figured out” can hit hard—especially when you’re not even sure which direction you want to go in. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of yourself, you’re not alone.
I provide young adults with a supportive, nonjudgmental space to slow down, reflect, and grow. Therapy doesn’t require having all the answers—it’s a place to explore questions, build insight, and move forward at your own pace.
Navigating Life as a Young Adult
For many people, young adulthood is the first time you truly feel “on your own.” This transition can bring up challenges such as:
Feeling stuck or unmotivated
Anxiety about the future or decision-making
Quarter-life crisis
Professional or academic burnout
People-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries
Identity exploration and self-esteem concerns
Relationship stress (romantic, family, or friendships)
Life transitions, grief, or loss of direction
These experiences can feel confusing and isolating—but they also offer an opportunity for meaningful growth.
How Therapy Can Help
In therapy, we’ll work collaboratively to better understand what’s coming up for you and what you want out of this season of life. Together, we can:
Clarify your values, goals, and sense of identity
Build coping tools for stress, anxiety, and overwhelm
Explore patterns in relationships and communication
Increase self-confidence and self-trust
Learn how to set boundaries without guilt
Create a life that feels aligned—not just “expected”
My approach is supportive, thoughtful, and tailored to you. Whether you’re feeling lost, burnt out, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, therapy can help you feel more grounded and intentional moving forward.
Professional Burnout
Professional burnout can show up as chronic exhaustion, lack of motivation, irritability, or feeling disconnected from your work. For many young adults, burnout can be especially confusing when it happens early in a career or in a field you once felt excited about. In therapy, we can explore the internal and external pressures contributing to burnout, identify patterns around overworking or perfectionism, and develop strategies for setting boundaries, managing stress, and reconnecting with what feels meaningful and sustainable for you.
Quarter-Life Crisis
A quarter-life crisis often involves questioning your career path, relationships, identity, or overall direction in life. You may feel anxious, behind, or unsure if you’re making the “right” choices. Therapy provides a supportive space to explore these questions without judgment, clarify your values, and separate your own goals from external expectations. Together, we can work on building self-trust, tolerating uncertainty, and creating a sense of direction that feels authentic to you.
Feeling Stuck
Feeling stuck can look like knowing something needs to change, but feeling unsure where to start or how to move forward. This experience may be connected to fear of failure, self-doubt, anxiety, or past experiences that make change feel overwhelming. In therapy, we can identify what’s keeping you stuck, explore underlying beliefs or emotional blocks, and break larger goals into manageable steps. The goal is to help you regain a sense of momentum and confidence in your ability to make meaningful changes.
People Pleasing
People pleasing often develops as a way to maintain connection or avoid conflict, but over time it can lead to resentment, burnout, and a loss of connection with your own needs. You may find yourself prioritizing others at the expense of your well-being or struggling to say no without guilt. In therapy, we can explore where these patterns come from, strengthen your sense of self, and practice boundary-setting and assertive communication. This work can help you build healthier relationships while staying true to yourself.
