I am a devoted to helping you find relief from anxiety, anger, depression, shame, or whatever it is that leaves you feeling stuck. This relief can come by being in a relationship where all of you is welcomed and valued, even the parts of you that feel broken, extreme, or judged by yourself or others. Together, we'll get to know what's causing you these symptoms, help change your relationship to these symptoms, and work towards healing whatever wound is at the root. In this process you may find that "you" becomes more clear, and experience a greater freedom to show up in the ways you'd like at work, home, and in your relationships.

Hello! I'm Taylor, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I support individuals in managing life transitions, codependent behaviors, and low self-esteem. If you often find yourself neglecting your own needs, feeling lonely despite career success, prioritizing the needs of others over your own, or struggling with identity acceptance, you are not alone. Many caring individuals face challenges in achieving personal fulfillment, often due to patterns formed earlier in life that may have limited their growth and awareness of their needs. I’m here to assist you in shifting that narrative and connecting with yourself.
