As a marriage and family therapist, I work with adults around various concerns including (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, and trauma. Within these dynamics, I have a particular focus on helping individuals end emotional abuse and reclaim their lives from toxic relationships. With over 10 years of experience in working with ages across the lifespan, I work on developing insight, improving self-esteem, and building resiliency.
I approach therapy from a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) lens in which I help individuals accept the reality of their lives and their behaviors, as well as helping them learn to change their lives, including their unhelpful behaviors. My goal is to provide you with a supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and work towards positive change.
In our sessions, you can expect open and honest communication. I believe in a collaborative approach, where we work together to identify your strengths and overcome your challenges. Whether you're dealing with stress, relationship issues, or personal growth, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
About Taylor
Philosophy
We are all doing the best we can AND we can do better. Each person is facing their own unique challenges and circumstances. It is important to practice empathy and understanding towards ourselves and others. By recognizing this, we can cultivate a more compassionate and supportive community, fostering growth and connection.
I recognize that no one person is the same and I customize my technique to meet your specific needs. Through reciprocal collaboration, therapy can promote emotional growth leading toward more rewarding relationships, and equip you with the tools needed to manage life’s challenges.
