You've experienced sexual assault (and you might find it hard to label it that way). You struggle with intimacy and are worried there might be something wrong with you. You often feel anxious and on edge. Even when things are going well at work or in relationships it feels like you are waiting for something to go wrong. Sometimes during sex you cry, dissociate, or try to just "get through it". You're worried you might never get over the bad things that have happened to you and that on some level you are broken.

I am accepting new clients for Monday Wednesday sessions. I strive to create a safe, collaborative, empathic environment where we can work together and I can support you in addressing challenges and making changes across a broad range of the issues with which life can confront us. I have a warm and relational style with my clients and participate in sessions while also allowing enough space for you to explore your own thoughts. My emphasis is on compassion, non-judgement, and growth in order to best support the needs of my clients and help them to make effective and healthy changes in their lives.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I strive for the development of a healthy sense of self and effective functioning. I place emphasis on the psychodynamic perspective, and am looking to identify recurring patterns of behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. I recognize that there is no sole route toward exploring one’s own truth and cultivation of healing. I value the practice of respect and building confidence, in order to earn trust that is sacred to a therapeutic relationship. You are encouraged to come as you are and collaborate at a pace of your own. Life’s paths are indisputably multifaceted and you are invited to flourish!

Sometimes life can be challenging and coping with stress starts with being able to identify your triggers and determine what works for you. I have a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Wheelock College and experience with children and families from diverse backgrounds.

Are you having a hard time motivating yourself, and figuring out who you are, or what you aspire to be?

Hi! My name is Taylor (she/her)! Starting (or re-starting) therapy takes a lot of courage to do. So much of what happens in therapy is a result of therapeutic relationship. For that reason, I hope you’re able to find a therapist with whom you can truly connect and feel understood by. My own therapeutic style fosters collaboration, attentive listening, and at times – some humor.

Why do so many of us avoid feeling? Somewhere along the line, we learned that discomfort was "bad." We all avoid in certain ways and it takes strength to look at ourselves compassionately. I balance a realistic, no fluff approach with warmth and empathy. We are all going through something, but I believe we can heal and be inspired by the little things (which eventually become the big things).

I help people alleviate uncomfortable feelings, gain insight, and increase coping skills to overcome stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions (such as relocation, career transitions). Part of being human means that you will struggle at some point with unproductive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, or unexpectedly have to manage something life throws your way. Clients I work with are motivated to develop advanced life skills to increase their happiness, self-confidence and emotional health and well-being and are seeking tools to assist them in the process.

I work with clients seeking to manage stress, understand themselves better, and gain insights into the dynamics of their relationships. I specialize in helping individuals who suffer from anxiety, mood disorders, grief, or emotional dysregulation. I have experience working with individuals from multicultural backgrounds. I am committed to providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment where individuals can feel safe to express themselves and explore their unique identities. I believe that psychotherapy should be tailored to the individual and that each person should be empowered to find their own solutions.

You deserve a thoughtful and compassionate professional who understands you as the expert in your own life while challenging you to grow and learn new ways of being.
