Hi, I'm glad you're here! Sometimes we, as humans, get stuck. Worry, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger can bog us down. Relief, joy, and a sense of connection can seem elusive as we trudge. Whether you are an individual, couple, or family, there is support for you here. I collaborate with my clients using evidence-based, holistic treatment approaches to help cultivate empowerment, connection, embodiment, and love. You deserve to feel good.

I provide individual services to adults age 25 and older, with a special focus on helping people recover from family dysfunction, religious or school abuse, and those living with chronic illnesses. I enjoy working with clients who are new to therapy, and those who have already had therapy but are seeking a deeper, more direct experience. Whether you are just beginning or want to revisit the journey of therapy, I am here to help. My services are designed to let you heal from past dysfunction, re-work current relationships if needed, and establish healthier boundaries.

I am passionate about helping you to create a meaningful and fulfilling life, as you learn to move from cycles of pain to cycles of peace. I view the human experience through an existential lens where you are encouraged to engage with your own "becoming" as you create a life worth living. I welcome all ways that bring awareness and change, including restoration therapy, solution-focused therapy, and techniques of self-compassion, mediation, spiritual integration, and somatic regulation. I work with adults, teens and kids and have experience with women's issues, parenting, marriage, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and addiction.

People wanting to heal from grief and loss, trauma, addiction, self-esteem issues, or the overwhelming stress and anxiety that can accompany life’s transitions, have come to the right place. As a practicing clinician with a lifetime of experience (and many hours of graduate course work) I am trained to offer guidance and support to those who seek change within themselves, their lives, and their relationships.

Summer is here! Life is full of transitions and can tug at our strings in search for identity and times of uncertainty that can increase anxiety, depression, and trigger previous trauma. Children can feel changes and try to adapt without the words to express how they feel that can create additional tension. Put this together, it can become a cesspool of emotions for both the parent(s) and child. My personal experience of living abroad for 20 years and raising 5 children, helped me to understand transitions and their complexities.I work with both children and adults, parenting for relief.

My passion is to work with couples: pre-marital, couple's with children, empty nesters, and couples entering retirement. We go through so many transitions in our lifetime and each transition brings stresses and issues of it's own. I am a level-3 trained Gottman Therapist and use many modalities as well designed to fit the needs of each couple and individual. I approach my work through a systems perspective. I integrate genograms, Sand Tray therapy, Art therapy, and other interventions to help clients to fine relief from their struggles.

Currently accepting clients aged 14+ and families. Often times, teens have a hard time expressing themselves and processing their stress, leading to eating disorders, substance use, and other behavioral issues. Whether your teen needs new coping skills, or your family is looking for wrap around support, I believe families are the key to healing. Individual and family therapy can provide space to improve communication, repair wounds, and build the skills needed to support teens through crisis.

Are you somebody who is struggling to understand their place in life? Wondering how to make sense of what is going on around you or adjusting to big life changes? Are you feeling hopeless and anxious? Yearning for peace and better way to express the emotions you have inside. Are you experiencing relationship, parental, or career stress? Do you feel worthless or have a hyper critical inner dialogue? I want to help you attain your goals to improve mental health, personal growth, life satisfaction, and spiritual fulfillment.

Whether you are looking for support during a particularly difficult time, to process trauma, or work with you and your family/spouse/partner, I am here to help. My approach is focused on connection, respect and empathy as a way to help clients heal and deepen understanding of themselves and those they love. I have experience working with an array of concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, infertility, trauma and so on using a trauma-informed integrative approach grounded in attachment. I believe each person possesses within themselves the ability to heal and grow and will spend our time in sessions doing just that.

Emotional connection is crucial for thriving and satisfying relationships. Shame and trauma can keep us stuck in negative cycles of thought and behavior. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups within the context of their current and prior relationships. I primarily employ Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Restoration Therapy (RT) techniques.

Are you an individual or couple looking for more fulfillment? I specialize in working with relationships to create change. Monogamous, poly, or open my desire is to work towards your common goals to create lasting change. I love working with couples developing healthy sexualities, LGBTQIA+ individuals developing their sexual and gender expression, and people on the journey of healing. I use a person-centered approach, with a whole lot of fun and humor, to authentically provide a space for a collaborative, non-judgmental relationship. Creating mindful awareness into your lived experience we gently address patterns and build insight.

People think you have the perfect relationship. And it may even look like it to those on the outside. But if you peel back the curtain, it feels more like you are roommates sharing space. You remember how in love you felt when first married. You were connected. Now, there are just glimpses of that connection. With all the busyness — jobs, kids, & noise — there is no space for real conversation. You are being pulled away from each other by constant distractions & responsibilities. You are afraid of the future possibility of a lonely marriage. You’ve tried everything to help the relationship & now you’re tired. You need help.

Having a healthy marriage takes work. Many people invest in their retirement, friends, career, church, etc. but neglect investing in their marriage and themselves. You have a lot on your plate. If you are what you eat, (or what you invest in), how are your relationships? I can help you work to bring your marriage back into balance and help you go from pain to peace. Is your marriage and/or family is "okay" but you'd like it to be stellar, let's talk.

My life has afforded me many opportunities to learn about transitions in relationships, cross-country moves, and parenthood. Whatever transitions you may find yourself in, I am here to support you. I have experience working with diverse groups of women in different stages of life, and I have a particular passion for helping women know themselves, their desires and achieve their goals.

Are you looking for a safe space to discuss your mental health? My counseling style is calm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, individuality, and compassion. I work with clients who experience depression, anxiety, and postpartum. I believe the therapeutic relationship can be a rewarding and remarkable experience. I take great care in the work I do to understand your needs and am honored to witness and walk with you on your journey.

Welcome to an individualized and restorative therapeutic approach. I work with adult and teenage individuals experiencing a wide range of challenges, but I specialize in using evidence-based practices to treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, and low self-esteem. To participate in therapy is to collaborate in a safe and accepting space where you can learn practical skills that facilitate meaningful long-lasting positive change in yourself and in your relationships. I believe that it is through a process of self-discovery and practice that we are able to empower ourselves to skillfully make choices that lead us toward our goals.

Hey, I’m Taryn! I believe that holding a space for individuals to reconnect and heal the relationship with themselves is one of the most beautiful aspects of therapy. In my experience, therapy is a mixture of cultivating inner love, deconstructing shame, and allowing all emotions to exist without judgment. Laughter and tears are welcome too :)

As a former professional musician and teacher for 25 years, I have witnessed the increasing stress that people face in our hyper-competitive society. As an immigrant, I have also experienced the adjustment stress of being in a new culture, and being in a biracial marriage, I understand the challenges of bringing 2 cultures together. My aim is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore with clients their challenges in life. The theoretical approaches I use in therapy are Attachment Therapy, Bowen family systems theory, and other client-centered modalities.

Do you feel exhausted keeping it all together? Or maybe like your brain has a hamster wheel spinning through responsibilities, forgotten tasks, and “should-dos,” without the energy to do them? Are you scrambling to cover up dropped responsibilities? Does the feeling of shame and overwhelm make you want to quit, but slowing down feels impossible? Together, we can find space to balance the spinning plates and feel like you don’t have to be on high alert for something crashing down. We can repair dropped plates—relationships, school, work, parenting, or other important things—even if it feels like they can’t be repaired today.
