Young Adult & Adult Therapy in Orange County.
It’s hard to be an adult!
Young Adult & Adult Therapy
Truth be told, in many ways I still feel like a young adult (sometimes I still feel like a kid too)! I dislike setting up my own appointments, I still yearn to call my mom when it comes to insurance questions, etc. We’re all just figuring it out, aren’t we? Being a young adult is all about transitions. There are now expectations thrown onto us because we are expected to be an adult. As a therapist that loves working with young adults, I want to validate you for any difficulty you may be having, adult or not. I have the utmost empathy for my young adults just trying to figure it out. Let’s work on your life together!
When you’re an adult, most of your wounds run deep. They are not merely surface levels symptoms (although they may appear that way). Many of these symptoms have underlying roots that can trace back to experiences in our past. I love working with adults because we get to do deep work together. We are able to verbalize and pick at concepts in a way that I am unable to with my younger clients. The trick is to move towards the emotion and not away from them. I hope I can support you in your mental health journey.
