Accepting new (in-person and telehealth) clients. Welcome, I'm Taylor! I have had a passion for healing from a very young age. It all began with the healing journey of myself, through which I explored countless modalities. I found that the most profound growth came from combining both eastern and western practices. This is why I focus my work in merging east and west. My approach is integrative as well as eclectic. While my practice is grounded in traditional depth psychotherapy, I incorporate spiritual healing elements such as intuitive therapy, energy clearing, yoga nidra & guided meditations.

Life is an amazing gift. It brings excitement and adventure but also can be quite frustrating and overwhelming. My approach to therapy is transparent, curious, and compassionate. I specialize in treating eating disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, relational issues, and pre/postnatal maternal mental health. I use a combination of different therapeutic approaches which depends on needs. If you are struggling with an eating disorder/or unhealthy relationship with food or exercise, anxiety, substance abuse, low self-esteem, restricting, binging, purging, and/or other destructive patterns, you have come to the right place.

As a therapist, I am committed to empowering clients to live their best life, have meaningful and loving relationships, and most importantly, in the words of Virginia Satir, "help them have stars in their eyes and truly feel their own value." At times, as we move through the different stages of our life, we find ourselves stuck due to our unproductive internal dialogue of shame and guilt, the need to be perfect, and the daily attempts to be who the rest of the world wants us to be. This leads us to feeling broken and unable to love ourselves or truly connect with others.

My specialties include: couples stuck in conflict, ineffective communication, mistrust/affairs/infidelity, and anxiety/panic disorders, early & mid-life transitions, as well as teens and young adults struggling to find a path forward.

I have advanced training working with couples to build safety and intimacy, as well helping individuals overcome trauma or difficulties stemming from challenging early life relationships.

With over 20 years of professional experience and after years of private practice, I left the therapy world when I discovered the opportunity to advocate for individual and families.

A team approach is the heart of our program, uncovering what is truly wrong, or right, about your body, mind, spirit, and lifestyle.
