Young Adults in Transition
The next step is not always as clear as people make it sound.
Who This Is For
When the plan after school stops making sense
You may be starting a first job, moving back home or wondering whether a relationship still fits. Online, everyone else seems to have a plan. In your own week, even ordinary decisions can feel loaded.
I work with young adults in New York unsure about the next step. We can look at the life you have now, including money, family and the choices actually available.
What We Work On
What we can talk about
First jobs
We discuss the worry around feedback, asking questions and setting limits. You are allowed to learn the role.
Living with family again
Old roles may return when you share a home. We can practice adult requests about privacy, chores and what help you do or do not want.
Relationships and comparison
We examine how friends’ online updates shape your decisions and what matters when you put the screen away.
How I Work
Practice that fits the difficult moments
CBT
With CBT, we look at thoughts such as I am behind or one wrong choice will ruin everything. We test those claims against your circumstances and break a decision into something you can consider this week.
DBT
DBT skills can help when uncertainty feels urgent. We practice staying with discomfort, setting a boundary and asking for what you need without making a major decision just to stop the feeling.
What Sessions Look Like
Start with what happened this week
- Where
- Virtual, from anywhere in New York State
- Length
- 45 to 50 minutes
- When
- Day, evening and weekend times
Video sessions can focus on one recent moment, like a difficult conversation at home or feedback at work. You must be located in New York State. We discuss a private space, goals and how to tell whether the work is useful to you.
A smaller next step may be more useful than a complete life plan.
What Can Shift
- Separating your priorities from someone else’s timeline.
- Asking a clearer question at work.
- Setting a boundary while accepting needed help.
These are hopes we work toward together, not guarantees.

Before deciding what comes next
Name the actual choice
A job change, a move and a relationship question may need separate conversations. We can untangle them instead of calling your whole life a problem.
Notice what is available
Time, income and support matter. We can discuss a step you can afford to try rather than advice that ignores your situation.
