    Young adults

    Like adolescence, young adulthood is full of life changes, new responsibilities, and other challenges. For many people, this is also when symptoms of mental illness or effects from past trauma first arise. I offer CBT therapy and other evidence-based approaches to help young adults navigate these issues with confidence.
