Therapy Services for Young Adults

Young adults face many changes, unexpected events, questions, and uncertainties. It is often a time that earlier traumatic events resurface and can bring stress, anxiety, and depression. I help young adults by offering a safe space to gain insights, express their worlds, and connect to their true selves. I utilize traditional talk, sand tray, and family therapy to gain insights and uncover life direction.

  • School and career challenges 

  • Family differences and conflict 

  • Mood and emotion-related issues 

  • Managing stress and pressure from society, culture, social media, family, friends, and partner 

  • Anxiety and perfectionism 

  • Relationship issues and intimacy 

  • Saying no, setting boundaries, and living true to your self  

  • Having a voice in the world 

  • Toxic relationships, abuse, and intimate partner violence

  • Trouble making and maintaining healthy and supportive relationships 

  • Childhood trauma 

  • Self-confidence and self-worth
