You Don't Have to Have It All Figured Out

If you're 18-25 and feeling stuck, anxious, or like everyone else has their life together while you're just faking it half the timeβ€”you're not alone. I help young adults in Castle Rock navigate the overwhelming transition to real adulthood with practical support that actually works.

This Transition Feels Impossible

You're supposed to be figuring out your career, relationships, finances, and who you are as a person. All while everyone around you seems to have it together. No wonder you feel overwhelmed.

What You Might Be Feeling:

Anxiety about the future and making the "wrong" choices

Every decision feels huge and permanent

Imposter syndrome in work, school, or relationships

Like you're fooling everyone and they'll find out you don't know what you're doing

Overwhelmed by too many options

Career paths, where to live, who to date - it all feels paralyzing

Depression or feeling disconnected

Nothing feels meaningful, you're just going through the motions

Here's What I Want You to Know

You're not behind. You're not failing. This phase is supposed to be confusing and overwhelming. The problem isn't that you don't have it figured outβ€”it's that no one taught you how to navigate uncertainty.

What if I told you:

βœ“ You can feel confident without having all the answers

βœ“ You can make decisions without knowing they're "perfect"

βœ“ You can build a meaningful life one step at a time

βœ“ You can stop comparing yourself to everyone else's highlight reel

The challenges you're facing are real, but they're also completely normal for this stage of life. Here's how we can work through them together.

βœ“Navigate changing friendships
βœ“Create the relationships you actually want
πŸ—οΈ

Independence Anxiety

Scared to fully adult, worried about making mistakes, or feeling unprepared for real life.

βœ“Manage financial anxiety
βœ“Create support systems
βœ“Trust yourself to figure things out

My Approach to Young Adult Support

I don't do the "just think positive" thing. This is practical, neuroscience-informed support that helps you build real skills for managing this chaotic, overwhelming, beautiful phase of life.

I Get It Because I've Been There

I spent my twenties convinced I was behind, making wrong choices, and that everyone else had some secret manual I didn't get. Spoiler alert: there's no manual, and everyone's just figuring it out as they go.

What I learned (the hard way) is that confidence doesn't come from having all the answers. It comes from trusting yourself to handle whatever comes up.

That's what I'll teach you: how to trust yourself, make decisions with incomplete information, and build a life that feels authentic to youβ€”even if it doesn't look like anyone else's.

What This Actually Looks Like:

  • β†’We'll address the anxiety and overwhelm first
  • β†’Build practical skills for decision-making and boundaries
  • β†’Create clarity about what you actually want
  • β†’Take action steps toward the life you're building
  • β†’Build confidence in your ability to figure things out

You Don't Have to Figure This Out Alone

Whether you choose therapy or coaching, you'll get practical support for this overwhelming phase. You'll build confidence, manage anxiety, and create a life that actually feels like yours.
