About Taylor
I work with individuals and couples who want to better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and create more meaningful connection in their lives. You may be navigating anxiety, relationship concerns, intimacy, vulnerability, shame, grief, identity, or simply feeling stuck in patterns you are ready to understand differently.
Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe meaningful change often begins with curiosity, understanding not only what you are experiencing, but the relationships, life experiences, cultural expectations, and larger systems that may have shaped the way you see yourself and connect with others.
My goal is to create a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and explore what matters to you without judgment. Our work can be thoughtful and challenging, but it can also be conversational, relatable, and grounded in humor and authenticity.
My Approach
My approach is collaborative and person-centered, balancing compassionate support with honest reflection and practical tools you can use outside of therapy. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, and sex therapy-informed approaches while tailoring our work to your individual needs, experiences, and goals.
Rather than assuming therapy has to follow one predetermined path, we begin with what is bringing you in now and remain open to what emerges along the way. Together, we may explore relationship patterns, emotional responses, vulnerability, self-compassion, identity, intimacy, or experiences from your past that continue to influence your life today.
The goal is not simply to manage what feels difficult, but to develop greater self-understanding and create healthier, more intentional ways of relating to yourself and the people who matter to you.
Working With Individuals
You do not have to be experiencing a crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes you know something in your life is not working, but you are not quite sure why. You may be dealing with anxiety, self-doubt, shame, grief, identity questions, relationship patterns, or a major life transition. Or you may simply want to understand yourself on a deeper level.
I work with individuals to explore the experiences and patterns influencing how they think, feel, and connect with others. Our work may include building self-compassion, understanding vulnerability, strengthening self-esteem, exploring identity, healing parts of your younger self, or developing practical ways to navigate anxiety and stress.
Together, we create space for both insight and change so you can move forward with greater clarity, authenticity, and connection.
Working With Couples & Relationships
Relationships can bring tremendous connection while also bringing some of our most vulnerable patterns to the surface. I work with couples and partners navigating communication difficulties, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, intimacy and sexual concerns, trust, vulnerability, and changing relationship needs.
My background in Clinical Sexology, along with Gottman-informed and sex therapy-informed approaches, allows us to talk openly about both the emotional and intimate parts of relationships. These conversations are approached with curiosity and without judgment.
Together, we work to better understand the patterns occurring between you, communicate more openly, and create a relationship in which both partners can feel more understood, connected, and intentional.
