support for navigating life as an emerging adult

Adulthood doesn’t come with a manual, and the transition into full-fledged adulthood can feel uncertain, stressful, and isolating. You might be balancing work, relationships, financial independence, and personal growth—all while trying to figure out who you are and what you actually want in life. Therapy can be a space to process these challenges, gain clarity, and build confidence to navigate adulthood on your terms.

Therapy can provide the tools and support to help you navigate this transition and thrive in your adult life. Together, we can work on:

  • Setting boundaries in relationships, family, and romantic dynamics

  • Coping with perfectionism and pressure to “have it all figured out”

  • Developing self-confidence and trusting your decision-making

  • Navigating major life transitions like moving, starting a new job, or changing careers

  • Clarifying career goals and defining what success means for you
