Young Adult Therapy
This should be such an exciting time in your life filled with independence, adventure and self-discovery.
Then why do you feel like such a fraud?
Young adults report the highest levels of stress of any other age group. The pressure to succeed can feel overwhelming and difficult to manage.
Have any of these thoughts crossed your mind lately?
- I feel anxious and worried about my future
- I wonder why everyone else seems happy and can 'handle things easily
- I feel like everyone expects so much from me, I never measure up
- I worry so much about making the wrong choice, I feel paralyzed
- I can't say no. I'm spread too thin. I'm ready to say 'screw it' and quit everything
- I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't have it all figured out
- I know I shouldn't compare myself to people on social media, but I can't help it. I'm jealous.
- I did all the right things, went to college, found a job. Yet I still feel like I should be farther along in life than I am.
- I say I don't care about the opinions of others, but I do. I just want to be liked.
- I'm always surrounded by people, but I still feel so lonely.
- I drink or smoke too much to numb out or cope with my feelings
- I have a difficult time dealing with my emotions. I tend to stuff them down until I explode.
- I'm sick of the way things are going in my life. I feel stuck.
How can therapy help?
Therapy can give you a unique opportunity to gain insight into what’s working and what’s not. Therapy can provide you with a safe space to unload, where you’ll be heard and listened to without judgment.
Therapy might be right for you if:
- You believe in personal growth and are always striving to grow and better yourself
- You’re willing to dig deep to understand what is keeping you stuck
- You want to feel like you’re worthy and enough
- You want your life to mean something, but don’t feel like you’re fulfilling your purpose right now
- You want to make a difference in the world, but aren’t sure how to make that happen
You deserve to have the most fulfilling and joyous life possible.

FAQS ABOUT THERAPY
Therapy can feel strange at first. The first session is all about getting to know you. I want to know what made you decide to come to therapy, any symptoms you are experiencing and any goals you have for the therapy process. By the end of the first meeting I will give you an individualized course of action.
Each 55 minute session is $90.
Think of therapy as an investment into your mental and emotional health. The results you see will not only impact your future, but those around you as well.
I accept cash, check, credit card and Health Savings or Flex Spending Account cards.
*I do have a limited amount of reduced fee spots for those in financial need. Contact me to learn more.

I take a holistic approach to therapy, meaning that I take into consideration all areas of your life and not just your mental health.
My sessions are relaxed and conversational. I want you to feel safe to open up and explore the areas of your life that you may be struggling with. You get to direct where the conversation goes. If you don’t want to talk about something just yet, you don’t have to. I may try to nudge you to dig deeper when I feel that you’re ready, but you have the final say.
The length of the therapy process is different for everyone.
Typically, we will continue to meet weekly for the first 6-8 weeks, reassess your progress and determine how often you need to come moving forward.
I choose not to use insurance because I value your privacy and personal choice. Many people do not know that when you use your insurance for therapy, your therapist will need to provide you with a diagnosis. This diagnosis will follow you and must be declared on all health documents as a preexisting condition. This information could potentially impact you down the road when it comes to applying for life insurance or certain jobs.
Mental health diagnoses don’t consider any other factors that might be making your mental and emotional health worse, including situational factors, relational factors, trauma, income level, oppression, racial inequalities or injustices, ability to receive adequate care, housing etc. Often these are the root cause of many mental health related issues.
I believe that you know yourself best. When you use your insurance for therapy, you are no longer in charge of your treatment. Your insurance company will determine what your therapy looks like, who you can see and how long your therapy lasts.
I want you to make the most informed decision possible. If you decide you would like to use insurance and your insurance plan has out-of-network benefits, I can provide you with a receipt detailing your therapy and you may be reimbursed for your treatment.
