Leaving home and venturing off into the world alone can be terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. Meeting new people and getting to experience experimentation, life-changing discoveries, and wild transformations is what you were told your 20’s is all about.
However, new experiences and changes can bring up questions:
Where do I go now and what’s my next step?
Is this the right fit for me?
Does this feel good?
Am I headed in a direction that’s productive and helpful?
Am I engaging in healthy habits and coping skills?
We often forget how easily one can deter from the path they intended to take. My role is not to drive the train but to help you see where the train is currently going, and identify alternative routes to explore with you. Our process will include holding you accountable for the things you share with me. I won’t leave you hanging without working with you to cultivate tools to help you avoid emotional benders.
I aim to create a therapeutic space where we meet together to co-create a healthier mental state—not damage it.
Many people were brought up in a society where their parents or parent’s friends had clear paths or expectations laid out for them after they finished school. Now, more 20 somethings are seeking therapy with concerns about a lack of path. My clients frequently express their increasing anxieties around the little instruction for next steps of how to get them where they want to go in their lives. The old handbook for steps to success no longer are so clear, and 20 somethings are starting to feel that pressure. My clients often voice interest in needing support for relearning how to hear their instincts, their emotions, and how to reconnect with their creative and subconscious selves. If they can hear how to unlearn the muffling noise of others’ accomplishments, they can take a step back and reconnect with their own desires and wants. Through these moments, my clients can step out of their old narrative and construct a new path that feels more aligned and less restrictive.
