Are You Struggling to Find Yourself?

Transitioning into adulthood—starting college, beginning a career, or moving out—can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. Many emerging adults struggle with:

  • Feeling lost or uncertain about who they are

  • Pressure from family, school, or work expectations

  • Difficulty trusting their own decisions

  • Difficulty making decisions that feel right

If you want clarity, confidence, and independence, but feel stuck or unsure, therapy can help you sort through the confusion and gain a stronger sense of who you want to be.


Sound like you?

You replay conversations or decisions in your head, worrying about making the "right" choice


You feel pressure to have everything “figured out” while comparing yourself to peers.


You struggle with motivation, focus, or balancing responsibilities.


You worry about relationships, career paths, or making the “right” choices.


You feel overwhelmed by expectations but crave independence and self-growth.

Here’s what we’ll do together

Life as a young adult can feel overwhelming—balancing school, work, relationships, and figuring out who you are. Therapy can help you quiet the internal noise, understand the patterns behind your stress or self-doubt, and build practical tools to navigate adulthood with more ease.

Through online therapy, we create a safe, supportive space to explore your identity, values, and independence. Together, we will:

  • Clarify Your Identity & Values – Discover who you are and what matters most to you.

  • Build Confidence & Self-Trust – Make decisions aligned with your authentic self, even when life feels uncertain.

  • Manage Stress, Anxiety, and Overwhelm – Learn strategies to handle pressure from school, work, and social expectations.

  • Navigate Independence & Relationships – Balance newfound freedom with meaningful connections and healthy boundaries.

  • Align Life with Your Authentic Self – Make decisions that reflect your goals, passions, and values—not just what others expect.

This approach helps you move forward with confidence, instead of feeling stuck or reacting to the pressures of adulthood.
