Being in your early twenties can feel like everyone handed you the keys to adulthood but forgot to include the manual. It's like being thrust into an open-world game where you're supposed to know what you're doing, but you're still figuring out the controls. You might find yourself doom-scrolling Reddit at 2am, wondering how everyone else seems to have their lives mapped out. Or cycling between anxiety about the future and complete apathy, maybe snapping at your roommates and feeling terrible about it afterward. Whether you're struggling with panic attacks during finals, questioning everything you thought you wanted, or lying awake wondering what the hell you're supposed to do with your life, I've got you. Here's what older adults who've forgotten what this transition is like don't understand: This isn't you being "lost" or immature. These feelings of uncertainty, overwhelm, and existential questioning are your mind processing a massive life transition. In other words, they're completely normal responses—not personal failures.

What Therapy With Me Looks Like

When we work together, I don't follow a script. I never give you advice that you did not ask for. I listen to understand. I make observations about what I believe are patterns. Not because I'm an expert—but because we are all climbing our own mountain. Because I'm on my mountain and you're on yours, I can spot some dangerous areas that you may have not noticed; I have an outside perspective. Then, I can help point out those patterns in a way that would help lead you towards YOUR goals.

Our sessions might include:

• Actually understanding what's happening in your mind and body when you feel overwhelmed by choices

• Identifying what triggers your anxiety, perfectionism, or that "I'm behind in life" spiral

• Learning tools to manage uncertainty without numbing out or freaking out

• Exploring deeper questions about identity, values, and what success means to you

• Building authentic relationships instead of networking or keeping up appearances

Reaching out takes courage—especially when you feel like you should have it all figured out by now or when you're not sure therapy is "really necessary." I respect that self-awareness. My clients describe me as warm, direct, and patient. No judgment, just someone who gets that your twenties are actually really hard and found a way through.

Meet Future You.

Imagine approaching your future with curiosity instead of dread. Not because you have it all planned out, but because uncertainty feels manageable.

What if you could:

• Sleep through the night without spiraling about your career, relationships, or life choices

• Make decisions without endlessly second-guessing yourself

• Express your actual thoughts and needs without people-pleasing or shutting down

• Explore different paths without feeling like you're "behind" your peers

• Channel your intelligence and idealism toward something that feels meaningful

• Build a sense of self that isn't dependent on achievements or others' approval

Therapy is like an enzyme. The process of change that occurs within you happens automatically. Right now, you're at a certain equilibrium, or balance point. With the right enzyme, we can push your system towards a better balance. Our body is always trying to push towards hormesis, or energy balance. Except sometimes it gets stuck in patterns that are inefficient or outright bad for you. Therapy helps to identify those patterns and push you towards a new equilibrium—a place where you still feel your feels when you need to, but this time around, they don't overwhelm you. You learn to know yourself on a deeper level, and as a result of that, you can better understand what to do. Your struggles won't disappear overnight; rather, they become manageable challenges instead of all-consuming obstacles. I keep my practice deliberately small so I can respond quickly, offer evening appointments, and create a safe space for real change. Whether you're dealing with perfectionism that's burning you out, relationship drama that feels more complicated than it used to, or the existential dread of 'what am I supposed to do with my life'—I've got you.

The choice to start therapy is yours. If you're ready to stop optimizing your life on autopilot when it could be genuinely satisfying, reach out for a free consultation. Worth a shot? You know it is.
