Therapy for Young Adults

Finding Clarity, Direction & Confidence When Everything Feels Uncertain

Meg Jay called our twenties the “defining decade,” full of possibilities, excitement, and figuring everything out. But instead of definition, some find confusion, overwhelm, and pressure that can leave you paralyzed thinking everyone else has a plan except you.

Many people in this stage are doing "well" on paper: working, achieving, staying busy. Yet inside, there's constant questioning, second-guessing, and comparison. You might feel torn between wanting stability and wanting freedom, or unsure how to make big decisions without knowing how they'll play out.

This isn't a sign something is wrong. For many people, their 20s are about learning who you are and how to trust yourself in the middle of this big life transition.

Do You Recognize Yourself Here?

Maybe you're lying awake at 2am overthinking a text message, whether you're on the "right" career path, if you're falling behind your peers, whether you should stay in this relationship or city, or what you actually want versus what you think you should want. Have you been there?

Or maybe you're feeling stuck or behind despite being capable, burnt out from constantly trying to prove yourself, lost in relationships or dating, overwhelmed by family expectations or struggling with boundaries, constant self-doubt and fear of making wrong choices, emotionally overwhelmed but unsure why, or disconnected from parts of yourself.

A lot of people in their 20s think they should have it all figured out. But very few actually do. If you're exhausted from trying to hold it all together while figuring it out, you're not alone.

I help people with:

Career & Purpose — Feeling stuck in an unfulfilling job, burnout from overworking, questioning if this is really what you want, imposter syndrome, comparing your progress to everyone else

Relationships — Dating anxiety and fear of commitment, one-sided or draining friendships, difficulty setting boundaries, wondering why you keep attracting the same types of people, feeling lonely even when surrounded by people

Family Dynamics — Managing parents' expectations, struggling to become independent, setting boundaries without guilt, navigating family patterns that no longer fit

Identity & Self — Feeling like you're performing rather than being authentic, questioning your values or life direction, people-pleasing and losing yourself, exhausting perfectionism, exploring who you are outside expectations

Mental Health — Anxiety that makes everything harder, depression that's hard to recognize because you're "functioning," difficulty regulating emotions, patterns from childhood showing up unexpectedly

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy during this stage isn't about telling you what you should do. It's about helping you figure out what you want to do and what's right for you. It's a space to slow down, get to know who you're becoming, and understand what you want your life to be about.

In our work together, we'll focus on:

Understanding social and emotional patterns in yourself and relationships
Building genuine confidence in yourself
Developing and maintaining healthy, fulfilling, reciprocal relationships
Making decisions aligned with your values, not everyone else’s

You don't have to have it all figured out to reach out. That's literally what this is for. Let’s talk.

Your 20s don't have to feel this hard. It's okay to need support while you're figuring things out.
