Hello! I’m Taylor, an LPC with years of experience and specialized training. I believe in the resilience of the human spirit! I view therapy sessions as a team effort between the client and myself to explore what works best for you as a unique individual. In our sessions together, you can expect a safe space where your feelings are validated, your experiences are acknowledged, and your personal growth is nurtured. I utilize evidence-based therapeutic techniques combined with genuine empathy to help you unlock your potential for healing and happiness.

The impact of society as well as the cultural expectation to discover on our sense of self can be disheartening. This process may lead to feeling fear, anxiety, doubt, or shame, which can leave you feeling stuck and unfulfilled. You deserve support that honors all aspects of your lived experience. I am a LGBTQIA+ affirming, body positive, trauma informed, socially conscious, and anti-racist/anti-oppressive oriented therapist. My areas of focus are individual work, especially with women 18-40 as they grow into their power as women. I also work with families and couples wanting to increase communication and reduce negativity.

Welcome to Therapy Works! If you are seeking a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental therapeutic environment, I might be the therapist for you. Therapy isn't "just talking". You should be getting what you need out of it at each session! I feel educating about mental health problems is essential to the work we do together, with a blend of evidenced based treatment interventions for improvement. After 26 years in the mental health field, I have a strong knowledge base of how to help. I'll also work to tailor treatment approaches to your exact symptoms and problems. I serve Youth, Adolescents, Adults and Couples.

I invite you to notice your breath and then notice what else is happening in your awareness. When we are offered the time and space to simply be present, we can often bring more awareness to what is here and now, slowing down and making more contact with what is true for us. With awareness, new choices can emerge, along with a greater ability to be with and work through what is painful and unresolved.

I began my journey towards the art of healing through therapy after working in community mental health where I recognized how active listening matched with providing tools of healing and hope helped to change people's lives. I believe that individuals have the potential within themselves to discover their own healing journey. My therapeutic style is eclectic, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused care, narrative therapy and solution-focused therapy. I believe that I bring a unique voice of care in working with survivors of sexual violence and human trafficking.

I primarily focused on helping adult individuals. Rather it be a neurotic disorder, a mood disorder, a psychosis, or something less complex, I have a thorough understanding of working with individuals. I have focused my therapeutic education on clinical adult mental health. I utilize system theory, cognitive behavior theory, dialectical behavioral theory, and empowerment theory. All of these concepts I have studied throughout my college career into post-graduate trainings. Each plays an important part throughout the therapeutic process and are utilize interchangeably.

I promise my patients to be honest and sincere. I enjoy being a psychologist because I get to be in the privileged position to help others and generally see my patients get better and find greater joy and fulfillment in their lives.I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I have interest and expertise in a number of areas, but especially get excited about marital/couples therapy. I have been PAIRS trained (Practical Application of Intimate Relationship Skills) and enjoy solution focused interventions with couples.

Life can be overwhelming and tough for many reasons: addictions, domestic violence, trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, challenges with major life transitions, or parenting issues. Sometimes, we need help moving forward and healing as I did in many of these same areas. Whatever, brings you to counseling, it is my honor to serve you and walk with you through your healing journey. Healing begins acknowledging we need support and a desire to be transformed within… to be happier, more whole, more fulfilled so you experience less suffering and thrive more instead of just surviving.

Our brains are amazing and have the ability to heal from past and present painful experiences! Life is full of twists and turns and sometimes we get stuck. Therapy is an effective way to help us get back on track. I am passionate about working with people and helping them to be their best selves!

If you are ready for your life to be different and you would like some help getting it there I would welcome the opportunity to go through that process with you.

You're wanting to feel alive and comfortable in your own skin, but you find yourself freezing up or overwhelmed with images from the past or stuck in ways you can't explain. While talking about it can be helpful, if you're dealing with a trauma or ingrained stress response, it gets stuck in the body and talking alone doesn't unlock the trauma patterns in the body. Body-based modalities combined with talking really help to unwind trauma patterns. If you come see me, we won't only sit in chairs talking.

I am passionate about trauma, depression, anxiety, LGBQT concerns, personality disorders, and neurodivergence. An ideal client is an individual who has a growth mindset and explores their thoughts and feelings and how they impact their behavior. They may not understand how those thoughts derived from past experiences, but they are willing to open old wounds given the right tools. They feel safe and secure and want to heal through hard work and determination.
