Anxiety & overwhelm
Persistent worry, stress, self-criticism, feeling stuck, or difficulty slowing down.
Young Adult Therapy · San Francisco
Making space for who you're becoming.
Early adulthood can bring possibility, uncertainty, pressure, and change. Therapy can offer space to explore your relationships, emotions, patterns, and the person you're becoming.

For this season of life
You're allowed to be in the middle of figuring it out.
Maybe you're navigating school or career decisions, shifting friendships, family expectations, or a relationship that brings up old patterns. Perhaps you feel anxious or disconnected, even when things look fine from the outside. Or maybe you want to understand yourself more deeply.
You don't need to be in crisis to begin therapy. Curiosity about your inner world is reason enough to start a conversation.
Common themes
What might we work on together?
Identity & self-understanding
Values, belonging, self-worth, life direction, and finding a sense of agency in your choices.
Relationships & boundaries
Family dynamics, intimacy, friendships, conflict, people-pleasing, and patterns that repeat.
Somatic therapy
Sometimes insight isn't the whole story.
You may understand why you respond a certain way and still find yourself repeating the same patterns. Somatic work brings gentle attention to the body's role in emotional life—sensations, tension, impulses, energy, and the nervous system's responses to stress.
We can explore these experiences alongside conversation, without forcing a particular feeling or outcome. The aim is to support awareness and choice in ways that feel grounded and collaborative.

What does working together look like?
Our work is collaborative and shaped by your goals. We may explore what is happening in your day-to-day life, reflect on relational patterns, and pay attention to what emerges emotionally and physically in the moment. You set the pace; there is no single way to do therapy correctly.
Do I need to have a specific issue?
No. Some people arrive with a clear concern, while others have a general feeling of disconnection, uncertainty, or wanting something to change. We can explore that together.
What if I've tried therapy before?
You're welcome to share what felt useful, what didn't, and what you might want to approach differently. Your past experiences can help us understand what support feels like for you.
