Mental health problems don't define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but, importantly, you are not the rain. - Matt Haig. As a clinician, I aim to promote the overall being of my clients by establishing a therapeutic environment that is free from judgment. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in addition to other mindfulness practices. I also incorporate other approaches and techniques to tailor the therapeutic experience to the individual needs of those I work with.

Sometimes we know that certain things in our lives need to change and we may not know where to start or how to make progress toward our goals. Therapy can help individuals examine where they are, what they are struggling with, and help them create a plan to begin making changes in their lives and/or in their relationships. Trauma, anxiety, or stressful life events can make things feel overwhelming but finding a therapist you can connect with is the first step. Petunia, my 20 lb. mixed breed dog (DOB 7/4/21) is training to be a therapy dog. She is present during sessions but I can put her in her kennel if you prefer.

When you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed to the point it is impacting your day-to-day life, it helps to talk with someone who is both kind and practical — offering hope and nonjudgmental support, but also collaborating with you on finding real solutions. We all need a guide sometimes when life is hard. I am the type of therapist who will provide validation when you need it but also encourage you to take charge of the things within your control. I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, stress, trouble communicating with a partner or family, and job burnout. In particular, I enjoy working with educators at all levels.

Hi, my name is Taylor! I feel that the most important part of therapy is the relationship I build with each individual I work with. My goal is to create a space where we can both allow authentic parts of ourselves to come through. I use a variety of techniques in order to best meet each individual where they are and explore what may work best for them. The approach I take integrates past and current experiences to help us explore and understand self. Therapy can be scary and nerve-wracking, and I feel honored I get to be a part of that journey.
