When it’s tough to navigate the unique years between childhood and adulthood
Many young adults are seeking support for family, peer and academic concerns, in addition to ethnic, sexual and gender identity issues. They might struggle with:
• depression
• anxiety
• obsessive compulsive tendencies
• ADD or ADHD
• trauma and assault histories
• relationship issues
• suicidal ideation
As a former Guardian ad Litem, restitution and family mediator and educator, in addition to raising two children of my own, I have worked with young adults and their parents for many years. As an on-site therapist in the San Jose Unified District high schools, I worked with many students who felt and functioned better after our sessions together. They were able to explore how they saw themselves and how that aligned with their goals and life within their family, learning and implementing strategies to get through difficult situations and communicate more effectively.
