People come to see me when they feel challenged by life circumstances, by depression, anxiety, or because they know that life holds more for them than they are currently experiencing. We can come to understand the roots of these experiences and to see where the blocks are to either living a life that feels like your own, or being more of yourself in the life that you have. I have found there to be a wide range of people who feel comfortable working with me, quite varied with regard to gender, age, stage of life, cultural background and sexual orientation.

In an effort to make sense of the difficulties that come with being human, some turn to psychotherapy for clarity. If you believe psychotherapy might be able to remedy the issues putting a strain on your wellbeing, then you might be looking in the right place. Beginning psychotherapy can be complicated; it requires a certain level of communication between you and the therapist in order for things to go smoothly.

Are you a high performing man who is reaching a point where alcohol use feels conflicted and no longer in alignment? It is courageous to be here exploring this concern you have. I specialize in helping men who are successful, thoughtful, yet conflicted about their drinking find a more aligned path forward with Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.
Drinking may still "work" socially or professionally, but internally something about it feels off. While you do not identify with labels such as addiction, you know your relationship with alcohol is costing you in areas such as clarity, connection and energy for work and fitness.

What I’ve learned from 30 years of working with individuals and couples is that each therapy is a unique collaboration between client and therapist. People may come to therapy because the external circumstances of their lives are difficult or because they are aware that their inner life is preventing them from living fully, or both. My job is to make use of the many different modalities of therapy that I am trained in and listen carefully for which would most help the client get where they need to go. I always respect that it is the atmosphere of mutual trust and safety that allows these modalities to work.

You’ve learned how to hold it all together and cope, but something in you knows there’s more. Maybe your inner critic is loud, telling you you’re too much or not enough. You worry, fake it, numb out, then feel guilty. Even when you have insight, your patterns stay the same as you’re stuck in your body. You feel anxious and disconnected from yourself, like you’re performing your life instead of living it. You’re ready for something deeper than just coping. Real change and a stronger connection to who you are.
I’m Taylor, and I offer relational, trauma-informed therapy, including ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) and breathwork.
