Hi, I’m Taylor! Do you struggle with balancing the responsibilities in your life? Do you have trouble with completing daily tasks and managing your relationships? Are you feeling overwhelmed day to day? Life can be difficult to manage. I love helping anyone who is trying to balance parenthood and postpartum life, but enjoy working with anyone experiencing life transitions. I mix cognitive strategies with solution-focused techniques to promote healthy coping skills, challenge negative thoughts and create space for change to make life just a little more manageable. Whether you are facing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges or problems with executive functioning (things like focus, task initiation, prioritization, and motivation), I can help guide you to finding ways to tackle your challenges. I would love to team up and help you become your best self!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session, we focus on reviewing the intake paperwork that you are asked to complete prior to meeting for the first time. We use our first meeting to get to know one another and address your expectations for therapy. We finish with establishing goals your goals for treatment so I can best serve you as a support in your journey.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have ample experience working with both men and women who suspect or have been diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety. I love to work with those who are new or established parents as well as those who may be experiencing communication challenges with those around them.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I often find myself working with people who struggle with their day-to-day. Often their relationships need adjustment, they have problems with tackling challenges at work and at home or they struggle with anxiety and low mood. My ideal client comes to session with curiosity about how they can get better and an eagerness to learn.

Taylor's profile really resonated with me and everything she describes is true to who she was today during my first session. She was so incredibly genuine and kind. I am really looking forward to our next session.

She has this awesome way of letting you take the lead, but she's also not going dodge the tough stuff. She is not afraid to ask the hard questions. She gives you tools you can use at home, & her suggestions outside of sessions actually help. What I really appreciate is how she picks up on your progress & makes you feel genuinely good about it. Being seen, man, it's a real confidence boost. Been seeing her for two years now & honestly, wouldn't trade her for anything. She's definitely a keeper.

Taylor is great, she is very solution oriented and asks questions about different scenarios that help me think about a task in a way I may not have on my own. I'm happy to have her support in my mental health journey!

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Through the use of cognitive behavioral therapy, we work together to uncover thought patterns that are distorted, meaning that they do not serve you as a client and often contribute to negative feelings and behavior patterns. We all have distorted thoughts and through the identifications of patterns, I teach you methods of developing insight into when they occur in the moment and find ways to challenge and reframe them to achieve your goals in therapy.

Strength-Based

Strengths-based therapy techniques focus on identifying strengths that you bring to the table from the first day you start engaging in services. We use these strengths and examples of successes that you have experienced in the past to tailor interventions

Interpersonal

Interpersonal therapy allows us to examine patterns of thoughts and behaviors related to your social relationships. Positive interactions and relationships with others serve as major factors in improving an individual's mental health. We focus on communication and conflict resolution skills to build foundations and strengthen existing interpersonal connections.
