Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes pushing through isn’t enough to regain your footing. Hey, I’m Taylor, a grounded and approachable therapist who values both compassion and honesty. I believe meaningful change happens when therapy is collaborative, relational, and guided by your values, goals, and pace. I take a client-led approach and prioritize building strong, trusting relationships. My style is warm and supportive, while also being direct when needed. I don’t believe in "fixing people"—I believe in helping you reconnect with the insight, resilience, and capacity for change already within you.
I specialize in helping adults better understand the patterns that shape their relationships, self-worth, and relationship with food and their body. Together, we'll address anxiety, depression, trauma, and attachment concerns while building sustainable change rooted in self-compassion rather than shame.
I don't believe therapy is about fixing people. It's about understanding the experiences and patterns that have shaped you, reconnecting with your strengths, and creating a life that feels more aligned with who you are and what matters most to you.

I take a client-centered, humanistic approach to therapy, meeting you where you are. I draw from CBT, ACT, attachment-based work, and IFS to help you feel truly seen and understood. Sessions are relationship-focused, caring, and direct—and yes, there's room for warmth and laughter along the way.
