I work with adults who are struggling with a depressed and/or anxious mood to experience a more hopeful and purposeful life. Former clients who had a background of trauma, grief/loss, mood disorder, or had become stuck during a time of transition say that through therapy they were able to regain a balanced and satisfying life. Counseling involves digging deep, learning new ways of thinking, challenging old behaviors, and being courageous enough to believe that you can change and grow no matter where you are in your life journey.

There is no "ideal" client in my books; we are all different and are in need of differing approaches. My role is to meet that need. It is helpful when clients come to therapy motivated for change and open to feedback. Although my specialty is chronic illnesses; I welcome anyone into my practice. I strive to create an inclusive and safe space for my clients.

Taylor’s passion is in performance psychology. She has been working towards certification in performance coaching. She also has experience treating and working with grief, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and peri/post partum depression and anxiety. Taylor loves helping those who feel as though the world is throwing everything at them except for positivity. Often, these situations can be from things that are out of our own control and it’s easy to get into a habit of negative feelings and destructive self-talk. Everyone has a story.

Have you discovered that you are lacking in motivation? Confused or completely lost when it comes to your own personal purpose in life? The number one symptom I have noticed in the past few years is that people lack motivation and purpose. That might be because of trauma, grief, personal issues, or any number of events and relationships. The goal of therapy with my clients is to increase awareness, renew motivation, and rediscover purpose that aims at a better, more authentic future.

I serve a variety of ages covering a diverse range of mental health and emotional concerns. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents between the ages of 10-17, including those in the foster care/adoption and juvenile justice systems. These concerns range anywhere from adjustment difficulties to the effects of abuse and neglect, including, but not limited to parental conflict, anger management, depression, bullying, homelessness, drug abuse, grief and loss, and anxiety. My work with adults (18+) is very similar, but also includes marriage struggles, life transitions, and faith, to name just a few.

I work with adults (21+) whose presenting concerns are most often related to anxiety, depression, grief, spirituality, "deconstruction," "purity culture," "reconstruction," sexuality, and relationships. My guiding therapeutic modalities are attachment-focused and trauma-informed (active training in Somatic Experiencing). I am also trained in ACT, Emotionally Focused Therapy (and EFIT), and the Gottman Method for couples. While I am most familiar with Christianity, my practice is open to people of every religious tradition and people with no religious affiliation. I welcome married and unmarried couples into couple therapy.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
