If you’re looking for young adult therapy in Los Angeles, you’re not alone. This stage of life can feel overwhelming—whether you’re navigating anxiety, identity, relationships, or major life transitions. I work with young adults across Santa Monica and West Los Angeles to help you feel more grounded, confident, and clear about your next steps.

Support for Young Adults Navigating Stress, Anxiety, and Life Transitions

Navigating adulthood can feel overwhelming at times. Many of the young adults I work with in Los Angeles find themselves balancing work, relationships, family responsibilities, and personal wellbeing—often with little space to pause and reflect.

It’s common to experience stress related to career pressures, relationship challenges, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, identity questions, or difficulty managing anxiety, self-doubt, or substance use. Young adult therapy can offer a supportive space to better understand these challenges and begin making meaningful changes.

How Young Adult Therapy in Los Angeles Can Help

I offer young adult therapy in Los Angeles for individuals seeking a supportive space to better understand themselves, navigate life transitions, and develop healthier ways of coping with stress.

Therapy can provide the time and space to:

  • Gain insight into patterns that may be keeping you stuck

  • Find relief from emotional overwhelm

  • Improve relationships with yourself and others

  • Move toward a life that feels more aligned with your values and goals

My Approach to Young Adult Therapy

My therapeutic approach is primarily psychodynamic, focusing on how past experiences shape present thoughts, emotions, and behaviors—both consciously and subconsciously.

By exploring patterns that emerge in your relationships with yourself and others, therapy can help increase self-awareness, clarify long-standing challenges, and create opportunities for meaningful change.

In addition to psychodynamic work, I integrate evidence-based approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Skills and Support You Can Build in Therapy

These approaches can help you:

  • Recognize and challenge unhelpful thought patterns

  • Improve emotional regulation and distress tolerance

  • Strengthen communication and interpersonal effectiveness

  • Build resilience during periods of stress or transition

Together, we will explore barriers to change, increase your capacity to tolerate discomfort, and develop practical strategies for navigating complex emotions and life stressors.

My goal is to help you feel more empowered, confident, and connected to your authentic self—with greater clarity about how you want to move forward.
