Working with Young Adults

Young adulthood is a time of incredible change and self-discovery, but it can also bring up complex emotions and unresolved pain. For many, this period is shaped by the weight of unprocessed childhood experiences, challenging family dynamics, or relationship patterns that feel dysfunctional or unfulfilling. I understand how difficult it can be to carry these struggles, and I’m here to provide a compassionate and supportive space where you can begin to heal and move forward.

I work with young adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and the lingering effects of childhood trauma. Whether you grew up in a home with broken family relationships, felt unheard or unsafe, or experienced emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, therapy can help you unpack these experiences and understand how they’ve shaped your sense of self. My goal is to help you move through the pain at your own pace, offering tools to build resilience and self-compassion along the way.

My approach is deeply trauma-informed and grounded in Object Relations Theory, which explores how early relationships influence your current patterns and beliefs. I also integrate Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) to guide you through the process of healing and reconnecting with your authentic self. Drawing from Family Systems Theory, we’ll examine the roles and dynamics in your family and how they’ve influenced your current relationships. Additionally, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you develop practical skills to manage overwhelming emotions and improve your daily life.

Therapy is not about fixing you—because you are not broken. It’s about holding space for the pain you’ve endured, exploring how it has impacted you, and empowering you to move toward a life that feels whole and meaningful. Whether you’re struggling with self-worth, relational challenges, or a sense of feeling stuck, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, patience, and understanding.

You deserve to feel heard, valued, and supported. Let’s work together to help you process the past, navigate the present, and create the future you envision.
