Hi, I'm Taylere! Finding a therapist and embarking on a journey of healing is brave, I am glad you're here. Starting therapy can feel awkward. You might not know where to begin, feel unsure of what to say, or worry that you’re “doing it wrong.” (For the record, there’s no such thing.) My goal is to create a space that feels warm, safe, and human, where you can show up exactly as you are messy thoughts, big feelings, and all the things. I’ve loved exploring people’s stories and helping them make sense of their experiences ever since I started training in therapy. I’m passionate about understanding how early life experiences shape who we are today, while also offering practical tools to cope and grow. I strive to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and non-judgmental, where you can be curious about yourself, build insight, and feel empowered to make meaningful changes. Outside of work, I love to read fantasy books, take my dog for a walk, and go to concerts.
During our first session, you can expect a welcoming, non-judgmental space where we begin to build a trusting relationship. I encourage openness, but there's no pressure to discuss anything you're not ready to. I'll get to know you and understand what brought you to therapy, while explaining my approach to ensure we're aligned.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to blend depth and practicality. I help clients gain insight into how past experiences shape current patterns while also providing tools and strategies to cope and grow in the present. I am attuned, empathetic, and collaborative, creating a safe space where clients feel heard and supported. I also bring a sense of humor and lightness to our work, helping clients feel comfortable exploring even the difficult parts of their story. My goal is to help clients leave therapy feeling understood, empowered, and more confident in navigating life’s challenges.
I work best with clients who are curious about themselves and ready to explore both the “why” and the “how” of their experiences. My ideal clients may be navigating patterns from their past, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, or difficulty managing emotions. They’re interested in gaining insight into how early experiences shape the present while also learning practical tools to navigate life more effectively. I value a collaborative, compassionate space, and I also believe a little humor can go a long way, because sometimes laughter is exactly what we need to lighten the load while doing the hard work of growth.
Relational therapy focuses on understanding how your past relationships and life experiences shape the way you see yourself, connect with others, and navigate the world today. Many of the ways we cope, such as people-pleasing, avoiding conflict, or struggling to trust others, often develop as ways to stay safe, even if they no longer serve us. Together, we'll explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion while working to build healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. I also believe that the therapeutic relationship itself can be an important part of healing. By creating a safe, consistent, and collaborative space, therapy becomes an opportunity to practice trust, healthy boundaries, vulnerability, and new ways of connecting that can carry into your relationships outside of session.
I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we look at how unhelpful thinking patterns can impact mood, stress, and daily functioning. CBT is practical and collaborative, offering tools and strategies to help clients manage challenges in the present while building skills they can use outside of sessions. By learning to notice, challenge, and reframe thoughts, clients can feel more empowered, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful changes in their day-to-day lives.
Integrative therapy is a personalized approach that recognizes that no single therapy method works for everyone. Rather than relying on one specific modality, I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches to create a treatment plan that fits your unique needs, goals, and experiences. Depending on what you're working through, I may incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), relational therapy, attachment-based therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches. Together, we'll identify what is most effective for you and adjust our work as your needs evolve. My goal is to provide a collaborative, compassionate, and flexible therapeutic experience that helps you better understand yourself, build practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change. Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all, and I believe treatment should reflect your individual strengths, challenges, and personal goals.
