Message from Taylor
Have you been living with the feeling that something is "off"? Maybe you've spent years holding it together while feeling lonely, disconnected, and overwhelmed. I believe your pain makes sense - even if it’s not clear why yet. I help teens, adults, and couples understand and shift the patterns that keep them stuck. Some are new to therapy, while others are looking for a deeper approach that gets to the root of their struggles, not just ways to cope. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and focused on building a relationship where you feel supported, understood, and challenged when needed. I’ve trained in relational psychodynamic therapy with children and adults, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. I believe our early relationships shape us and that healing happens through new relational experiences. In our work, we'll make space to understand feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and dynamics that often happen out of awareness. If something here resonates, you’re welcome to message me to set up a consultation call, or schedule directly with me using the link.

Get to Know Taylor
If I have never been to therapy before, what should I expect? How do I know if I should go, and how do I start?
I think it's normal to be curious but hesitant. I welcome these types of questions in session and think some of the most meaningful work can be done by wrestling with these questions together - What do I want from therapy? What are we doing here? What does it mean to be in therapy? If you have a nagging sense that you're feeling stuck or off and therapy could be an option, it's worth at least reaching out to set up a consultation call. I'll earnestly engage in your questions and help you make an informed decision. If you're interested in getting started, reach out and we'll set up a 15-minute phone or video call to talk more.
What is unique about the work you do, or how have you found your work to be different than your colleagues'?
My advanced training in psychodynamic therapy with children and adults, as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, gives me a deep understanding of how relationships shape us. This wider lens allows me to see how early experiences and relationship dynamics impact your life in ways you may not even realize. Working with couples has deepened my understanding of connection, conflict, and attachment, while working with children has made me more flexible, playful, and attuned to emotions beneath the surface.
How participatory are you during sessions?
Those I work with have shared that they appreciate I’m not a ‘blank slate’—we laugh, and sometimes even cry, together. Each session is guided by your goals and what you need in the moment, but generally speaking, I’ve been described as curious, attentive, and compassionate. I’ll give you space to share fully, but I also love asking questions, and will intervene when I think there is something important to explore together.
How will our relationship be different than relationships I have with friends/loved ones?
I can hear and tolerate things friends and family often can't as they may not have the skillset or capacity to sit with you in big feelings, difficult decisions, and painful experiences. Another key difference is that many of us are taught to "people please" and avoid conflict. As we grow in our therapeutic relationship, we will reflect on what is happening between us as a gateway to understanding these kinds of patterns that hold you back from meaningful connections with others and yourself.
