For the people figuring out who they are when nobody's grading them anymore, and quietly wondering if everyone else has it more together.
For the young adult reading this
You're functioning, on paper, and quietly running on empty.
You're "doing great" in every group chat and dreading Monday alone.
Everyone else seems to have a plan and you're still guessing.
You can't tell if it's burnout, anxiety, or just who you are now.
You keep waiting to feel like a real adult, and it hasn't kicked in.
If any of that landed, you're not behind, you're carrying more than you've let on. Therapy is a place to set some of it down with someone who won't lecture you or hand you a worksheet and call it a day.
We'll figure out what's actually in your way, and build tools that hold up outside the room. You set the pace.
Whether you're overwhelmed at work, feeling disconnected, going through a major life change, or just know you're not quite yourself, therapy can help you find clarity and direction. I specialize in individual therapy for college students and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, and big life transitions.
Our work together can help you manage stress, build healthier habits, and reconnect with your values and goals. Whether you're facing a long-term struggle or simply ready to grow in a new way, you don't have to figure it out alone.
What sessions look like
I draw from Experiential, CBT, ACT, Narrative, Solution-Focused, and DBT, choosing what fits your goals rather than running you through a generic protocol. Expect plain language, occasional homework, and a therapist who will tell you when something isn't adding up.
Many clients arrive in crisis and shift, over time, into deeper work, patterns, family stories, identity. We'll move at the pace that actually serves you.
FAQs
That's a fine starting point. Plenty of clients arrive saying "I should be okay but I'm not." Part of early sessions is naming what you're actually carrying so we can work on it directly instead of vaguely.
Friends are essential, and they're not therapists. In session you have someone trained to spot patterns, hold the harder material without flinching, and offer evidence-based tools, without the social cost of being "the friend who's always struggling."
A typical 50-minute session has a brief check-in, focused work on a theme or skill, and a few minutes at the end to land somewhere intentional. We'll set goals together early on and revisit them every couple of months.
Most clients start weekly. As things stabilize we may shift to every other week or as-needed maintenance. The cadence should serve you, not the calendar.
Many clients notice meaningful relief in the first 6–10 sessions. Deeper change, patterns, identity work, family-of-origin material, usually unfolds over months, not weeks. We'll review progress openly along the way.
