I believe that therapy is about the journey towards self-discovery and joining that person on a quest to seek out the answers they already have within themselves. The ideal client is a person who is open to learning, determined to self-improve and committed to the therapeutic relationship. My experiences with mental health range from: autism, mood disorders, postpartum depression, lyme disease, suicide ideation, gender identity concerns,personality disorders, chronic pain, trauma, behavioral management, social skills training, parent training, psychosis to substance use.

Hi, I’m Taylor! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about walking alongside others through life’s toughest seasons. I’ve worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings, helping people navigate anxiety, depression, PTSD, schizophrenia, and major life changes. I earned my BSW from James Madison University (Go DUKES!) and my MSW from George Mason University. I believe healing is a collaborative process rooted in empathy, care, and grace. As a social worker, I view every individual as inherently worthy—and I hope that through our work together, you’ll begin to feel that truth in yourself too.

If you are seeking to make some positive changes in your life or what to better understand how to cope with your current and past stressors, therapy can assist you. I work hard to get to know my clients and assist them in feeling heard and accepted. I encourage clients to tell me why they want to participate in therapy and what expectations they have for our time together. In sessions, I work to enable clients to identify or name their emotions, to determine what life experiences have caused them stress or trauma, and to understand what negative thoughts are contributing to their distress.

You’re a high-achiever, but you struggle with the weight of anxiety. Despite your success, feelings of dread and restlessness shadow your days. You find yourself mentally and physically exhausted because you’re always on edge; constantly waiting for the shoe to drop. Life has become nothing more than merely surviving. You feel stuck, defeated, and your self-confidence is shattered. Anxiety has stolen your sense of accomplishment, ruined your relationships, and stopped you from achieving your goals. You long to move beyond the pain and live a more peaceful and purposeful life that you love.
