Who I Help

# Therapy for Young Adults 

A lot of people arrive here having done everything right and still feeling lost.

The years between eighteen and thirty ask you to decide who you are while you are still finding out. School ends, structures fall away, relationships get more serious, and old family patterns start showing up in new places.

This is also the stretch when many people are newly identified as autistic or ADHD, often after years of being told they were lazy, difficult or too sensitive. I work with that recognition, the relief, the anger, and the practical question of what to do differently now.

The work is about finding your own voice rather than performing a version of yourself that other people find easier.

-   Identity, independence and life direction
-   Newly recognized autism or ADHD in adulthood
-   Anxiety, including social anxiety and phobia
-   Family patterns that follow you out of the house
-   Telehealth anywhere in Oregon, in person in Eugene
