Therapy for Young Adults near Virginia Highland and Old Fourth Ward
“The problem is not that you lack the right information—it’s that you need to engage your story.”
Every transition comes with its own set of unique challenges, but the transition from college to young professional life can be an especially vulnerable and difficult season of life. Many people find themselves transitioning from easy access to community and support to a hectic work schedule with fewer opportunities to build unhurried connection with others.
I have also noticed that young adulthood is often the season when our old ways of coping (e.g., substance use, a people-pleasing facade, excessive dependence on on a friend group for identity, etc.) are exposed as they no longer function as well as they used to.
I can help you discover a more stable and whole sense of your self as your navigate this season of life.

In therapy, we can identify practical next steps for you to take towards the life that you want and also be curious about the the emotional and behavioral patterns formed in your childhood and adolescence that no longer serve you in this season of life. By thoughtfully engaging your story and all of the parts of you, you can begin to shift these patterns and show up to your life now with more integrity and vibrancy.
