Couples and Individuals
Young Couples and Individuals: One of the joys and anxieties of being in your 20’s and 30’s is that you begin to think a lot about purpose, meaning and identity. Between the ages of 20 and 35 emerging adults begin to realize how big the world is and how much it has to offer, but also begin wrestling with big questions like: What is my role in the world and who am I? One of my passions is helping twenty and thirty somethings wrestle with and discover their answers to these big questions of life, helping them to uncover who they are and who they are not, what they are passionate about and what do they really want to get out of life?
Figuring out Love: It’s usually in our 20’s and 30’s that we begin to seriously date or look for a partner. In our modern world dating can be a very tricky business. Where do you meet people, how do you build a relationship, and how do you know someone is the one?
You’re also figuring out what you like and don’t like. Perhaps you are trying to make it work with someone you really care about, but different goals, beliefs and perspectives are getting in your way.
When I try and help people to figure out love, I enjoy using my own 10 year marriage to demystify the dating process and inspire hope - that if you remain open-minded, teachable and flexible, just about any relationship can work out and last for a lifetime.
Deciding on a Career: Maybe you are someone who knows what kind of job you want, or maybe not. Finding a job that will make you happy and make you money usually feels like a jigsaw puzzle. There are dozens of different jobs in each industry and the path to getting to them is usually unclear. On top of that is the timeless question of whether or not higher education is worth it?
When it comes to helping young adults to find and decide on a career, I like focusing on what they want and not the expectations of other people, You don’t need to be a super genius to find a job that both meets your financial and emotional needs, you just need to be patient, persistent, and teachable.
