Hi I’m Taylor, a Licensed Master Social Worker based in New York City. I offer a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel truly heard, understood, and empowered. My approach is rooted in compassion, cultural humility and a deep belief in your innate capacity to heal, grow, and thrive. I bring a trauma-informed, strengths-based perspective to every session, and I've had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
Grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients explore the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to create meaningful, lasting change. I also integrate psychodynamic therapy to help uncover and understand deeper patterns and unconscious influences that may be shaping your current experiences.
In addition, I draw from Compassion-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and humanistic approaches to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and a stronger sense of self-compassion. For couples, I incorporate principles of the Gottman Method to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection.
