About Thrive in Adulthood
We are a psychology-informed coaching practice and learning studio dedicated to helping adults build sustainable, values-aligned lives. Our approach blends research-based methods with compassionate partnership, translating insight into practical action that respects real-world constraints and honors your unique strengths and aspirations.
Our Evidence-Based Method
We integrate cognitive-behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, acceptance and commitment practices, and behavioral science to translate insight into action, ensuring your growth plan is personalized, measurable, and anchored in practical routines that fit real schedules and evolving responsibilities.
Cognitive-Behavioral Tools in Everyday Life
We help you spot unhelpful thinking patterns, test assumptions through structured experiments, and craft alternative, supportive thoughts that reduce anxiety and avoidant behaviors. You’ll learn simple, repeatable steps to challenge distortions, build confidence, and wire new response patterns into daily routines that actually stick.
Motivational Interviewing for Sustainable Change
Instead of pushing generic advice, we draw out your intrinsic motivations, clarify ambivalence, and co-create reasons that genuinely matter to you. This collaborative style increases commitment, reduces resistance, and turns goals into chosen paths, ensuring your actions feel self-directed, energizing, and aligned with your values.
Acceptance and Commitment Practices
ACT helps you notice difficult emotions without being driven by them, choose value-aligned actions, and build psychological flexibility in moments that matter. You’ll use defusion, acceptance, and values clarification to move forward compassionately, even when perfectionism, uncertainty, or discomfort would otherwise hold you back.
1:1 Coaching That Fits Your Life
Our sessions are structured yet flexible, blending guided reflection with practical planning, so you leave with clear next steps, supportive accountability, and a compassionate partnership that adapts to workload surges, family demands, and unpredictable life transitions without losing momentum.
Book a Session Today: What to Expect
In your first session, we define focused goals, map near-term behaviors, and agree on small, high-impact experiments. You’ll leave with a written plan, targeted resources, and checkpoints for accountability, ensuring momentum continues between sessions and translates into visible progress you can measure.
Tailored Goals & Measurable Outcomes
We convert big aspirations into concrete behaviors, deadlines, and indicators of success. You’ll track weekly wins, habit adherence, emotional load, and performance markers, then iterate intelligently. This outcome-minded process maintains clarity and allows rapid adjustments when circumstances change or new opportunities arise.
Confidential, Compassionate Partnership
Growth is easier with psychological safety. We create a nonjudgmental space, honor your lived experience, and work collaboratively, not prescriptively. Expect clear communication, respectful challenges, and gentle accountability that balances ambition with self-care, preventing burnout while sustaining consistent, meaningful forward movement.
Online Courses Built by Psychologists
Our self-paced courses transform research into practical skills using short lessons, guided reflections, and real-life applications, so you can learn on your schedule and build competencies that improve motivation, focus, relationships, and resilience without fluff or confusing jargon.
Learn MoreAssessments & Baseline Clarity
We begin with targeted assessments to identify strengths, constraints, and priorities, creating a baseline that informs your plan, aligns expectations, and makes improvements measurable over time without guesswork or vague aspirations.
Habit Building & Accountability
We design friction-aware habits, stack them intelligently, and install supportive cues, while regular check-ins and data review keep you honest, motivated, and adapting without self-criticism when life gets complicated or priorities shift unexpectedly.
Implementation Intentions & Habit Stacking
Translate intentions into precise triggers and actions using when-then plans. We pair new behaviors with existing routines to minimize effort and maximize consistency, so improved sleep, focus, exercise, or communication skills become automatic rather than reliant on fluctuating motivation.
Weekly Check-Ins and Progress Reviews
Short, structured reviews consolidate learning, maintain momentum, and surface obstacles early. We celebrate progress, adjust goals, and document insights so improvements compound. This rhythm prevents all-or-nothing thinking and turns adaptive consistency into a dependable driver of long-term growth.
Data-Driven Adjustments
We monitor simple metrics—habit frequency, task completion, energy levels, and stress—so you can separate signal from noise. Data guides decisions, reduces overthinking, and keeps changes realistic, making course corrections timely, personalized, and supportive of your evolving goals.
Emotional Regulation & Mindset
Develop tools to defuse unhelpful thoughts, process emotions skillfully, and cultivate resilient optimism that stays grounded in reality, enabling courageous action even when uncertainty, self-doubt, or perfectionism threaten to stall progress.
-
Learn to notice cognitive distortions, generate balanced alternatives, and run behavioral tests that prove new narratives true. Reframing reduces anxiety, enhances problem-solving, and builds self-trust, allowing you to approach challenges with clarity rather than spiraling into rumination or avoidance.
-
Practical, brief practices help you interrupt autopilot, widen attention, and regulate arousal in real time. You’ll integrate mindful pauses into meetings, transitions, and high-stakes moments, improving composure, listening, and decision quality without requiring long meditations or rigid routines.
-
Replace harsh self-criticism with supportive accountability that increases persistence. You’ll practice compassionate language, normalize setbacks, and rebuild motivation after mistakes, protecting energy and creativity while still aiming high and honoring commitments to yourself and others.
Career & Life Transitions
Navigate promotions, career pivots, relocations, and role changes with clarity, structured experiments, and stress-aware planning that reduce risk while opening possibilities aligned with your values and strengths in the realities of adult life.
- Navigating Role Changes We clarify expectations, map key relationships, and prioritize early wins to establish credibility. You’ll use signaling strategies, feedback loops, and boundary-setting to manage workload and build trust quickly without sacrificing personal wellbeing during demanding transitions.
- Decision-Making Under Uncertainty Use values-based criteria, probabilistic thinking, and reversible bets to choose direction without paralysis. We create small, safe-to-fail tests that generate real data, reducing anxiety and accelerating learning when no option feels guaranteed or perfectly risk-free.
- Building Confidence in New Environments Confidence grows from action. We design graduated challenges, rehearsal strategies, and reflection routines that consolidate wins. You’ll strengthen identity, communicate with clarity, and maintain momentum even when imposter thoughts arise or stakes feel high.
Relationships & Communication
Improve boundaries, assertiveness, and conflict skills to create relationships that are honest, respectful, and energizing, using language templates, nervous-system-aware strategies, and practice scenarios tailored to your contexts at work and home.
Boundaries Without Guilt
We craft values-aligned boundaries and teach you to deliver them clearly and kindly. Scripts and rehearsal build confidence, while troubleshooting prepares you for pushback, helping you protect priorities without damaging trust or connection.
Assertive Communication Scripts
Use concise, respectful language to make requests, decline obligations, and negotiate timelines. We provide adaptable templates, role-play practice, and feedback, so conversations stay productive and your needs are heard without aggression or apologetic over-explanations.
Turning Conflict into Collaboration
Learn to slow down reactivity, surface shared interests, and propose concrete next steps. You’ll practice reflective listening, curiosity-led questions, and repair strategies that transform friction into clarity, alignment, and forward movement that benefits everyone involved.
Mental Fitness & Resilience
Train attention, stress tolerance, and recovery systems to maintain high performance without burnout, leveraging short, repeatable practices that improve capacity under pressure and preserve wellbeing over time.
Stress Inoculation Training
We gradually expose you to manageable challenges while teaching regulation techniques. This controlled practice reduces overreaction, increases confidence, and improves performance when real pressure rises, making difficult situations feel familiar and navigable rather than overwhelming.
Energy Management & Recovery
Track energy patterns, design work blocks around natural rhythms, and install micro-recovery rituals that replenish attention. You’ll build sustainable output by balancing intensity with rest, preventing the boom-bust cycles that erode motivation and health.
Growth After Setbacks
We transform setbacks into learning by mapping causes, extracting lessons, and creating experiments that rebuild traction. This approach prevents shame spirals, strengthens resilience, and turns adversity into a springboard for wiser, more sustainable action.
Community & Support
Learn alongside peers who share similar goals and challenges, accessing guided discussions, mutual accountability, and expert feedback that keep you engaged, inspired, and moving even when motivation dips.
Peer Learning Circles
Small, facilitated groups create accountability and reduce isolation. You’ll share strategies, troubleshoot obstacles, and celebrate progress, benefiting from diverse perspectives while developing skills to support others compassionately and effectively.
Live Q&A and Office Hours
Bring real situations and receive tailored guidance. These sessions deepen learning from courses and coaching, clarify next steps, and ensure timely problem-solving when circumstances shift or nuance is needed beyond general frameworks.
