Please email all inquiries! Are you looking for a more authentic, relational experience with a counselor? Looking to deep dive into your mental health? We are a group private practice striving to provide a genuine, open, and trusting experience with in-depth therapeutic work. We work closely with my clients to achieve their goals while also encouraging them to challenge themselves to grow. We believe that healing occurs with the right support and validation, genuine connection with others, and unconditional acceptance. It's important to bring ourselves as we are to therapy with our full range of emotions (anger, sadness, and humor!)

I believe that people have an innate ability to heal and that successful therapy depends on tailoring sessions to be in alignment with your unique circumstances. I have an eclectic background that enables me to draw on a valuable combination of experience, knowledge and skills. It is my goal that our time together is creative, flexible and productive.

College and entrance into adulthood is hard! You’re still figuring out who you are, what you want to do, and how you want to live. Maybe you find yourself struggling with friendships or dating relationships in ways you haven’t before. Or you might feel lost and confused about your identity and who you want to be. Maybe you’re realizing, potentially for the first time, that the way you grew up isn’t “normal” and isn’t what you actually needed or wanted. So many transitions and challenges are happening and you may feel ill-equipped to deal with them. Let me help you navigate the questions and obstacles you are currently facing.

Hi, I’m Taylore and I’m so glad you found your way here. I specialize in partnering with women who struggle with emotional turmoil, difficulty coping with daily life, stressful relationships & self criticism. I have extensive experience in working with others to improve relationships with their self and others, cope more effectively, experience inner peace, & work towards the life that they want.

I currently have immediate openings. We sometimes just are uncertain where to start getting assistance in our mental health. We often do not want to burden others with how we feel. Let me assist you in those steps. Do you want to live a more fulfilling life and find comfort and clarity in making your life decisions? Do you want to have more understanding of how your body and mind work together? Have you tried other therapy services and it just doesn't feel like you are getting anywhere? Is your relationship struggling and you are not sure what else to do? Schedule a consultation with me today.

Hi, I’m Andrea, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist. Having worked in a variety of mental health settings and within the public school system, I have 20 years of experience supporting children & adolescents. My passion is helping children discover & build upon their strengths and abilities in order to overcome obstacles, learn new skills, and establish healthy relationships. I believe the therapy process should be engaging and collaborative in a safe and supportive environment.

If you find yourself struggling with feeling overwhelmed, depressed, confused, disconnected, or anxious, I can provide effective therapy for your distress. Life can be extremely challenging and it is healthy to reach out for help when we feel stuck and unable to make changes. As I listen carefully to your concerns and your story, we will work together to achieve your goals in a safe, supportive atmosphere.

My specialties in therapy include trauma, anxiety and depression. It can be very difficult at times to know how to manage or deal with challenges in our lives. I believe every person has an inner strength that allows them to face life issues and learn new ways to accept or change these challenges. This work is completely collaborative from setting goals to hearing your feedback about progress and other possible treatments to use. I will assist you in finding healthier ways of thinking and actions to deal with difficulties. The first step to take is often the hardest but may be one of the important and meaningful step you make.

Stop. Take a deep breath, hold it...and slowly release. I’m sure you’re stressed and tense from all your searching. Finding a therapist can be difficult! There’s many assumptions about what therapy looks like, but let me tell you what to expect from me. I’m fairly direct, but I will be as authentic and transparent as I expect you to be. I will work with you to identify past and current experiences that may be impacting your career, relationships, parenting, and even health. Nothing is off limits when it comes to processing your concerns, as everything you experience is valid. Together we focus on healing and growth!

Many of us have unknowingly rejected or silenced parts of ourselves that don’t fit with our idea of who we are supposed to be. As a result, life can feel out of balance or even inauthentic. My hope is to create a safe and accepting space for you to feel empowered to implement positive changes in your life. I work with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety and worry, substance use, stress, trauma, abuse, anger, fear, grief and loss, guilt and shame, and other challenges. I also work with couples who are having difficulty connecting and experiencing issues related to trust, intimacy, and affection.

I believe you deserve nothing less than to love yourself deeply, believe in your value, set unapologetic boundaries, and live a joyful, fully expressed life. Helping you get there involves three key pieces: 1) understanding the nature of what you’re facing (anxiety, ADHD, trauma), 2) helping you through what you’re facing, and maybe the most important is 3) fully discovering and feeling good about WHO you are and HOW you are – especially when society says it’s too little, too much, too weird, or not good enough.

Whatever struggle is motivating you to start counseling, something inside is knocking. The knock may be feeling depressed, anxious, angry, or overwhelmed. It may be feeling disconnected in relationships and from what is meaningful in your life, a sense of emptiness or lack of purpose. It may be unresolved trauma. To answer that knock means to turn inward, which can be challenging and uncomfortable at times, yet I whole-heartedly believe the life you seek is patiently waiting. The pain you are experiencing is actually an invitation for healing and growth. Answer the knock. When things break down, breakthroughs happen.

The decision to seek mental health support takes a lot of courage. Growth happens through our vulnerability. Depression, anxiety, trauma can feel overwhelming at times. You may find yourself wondering if you will ever feel OK? Maybe you feel like you've tried everything and continue to struggle with anxious feelings and depressed mood. You want to get through these challenging days, but find yourself stuck. It can be hard to seek therapy because you're unsure if it will help. You want to find the right therapist that will meet you where you are, and help guide your healing process.

My priority is to create a safe environment for you to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Especially during this time of Covid, many people are feeling anxiety, depression or confusion about their next steps; or you may be experiencing grief or loss. We'll work to identify your strengths, discover insights, and find clarity to move toward a greater sense of wellbeing. I focus on empowering clients to make positive changes that lead to healthier lives. My goal is to help you rediscover meaning, joy, and purpose in life.

"When we are no longer able to change a situation- we are challenged to change ourselves"- Viktor E. Frankl. Life's challenges are opportunities for personal growth and transformation. Many of us come to counseling as a last resort after all other attempts at making changes or feeling some relief have not worked. Whether you are looking to manage a specific condition such as anxiety/depression or relationship issues; are feeling stuck or stressed; or are looking for a deeper connection and meaning in life, I am here to assist you.
