Hi, I’m Taylor, and I believe in the transformative power of therapy because life can be overwhelming at times. We all face moments where we feel stuck, unsure how to move forward, and that sense of stagnation can be exhausting and even bring feelings of shame. But I want you to know, there is no shame in seeking help. I've been in that place - scared, unsure, and wondering if things would ever get better. Through therapy, I found the tools to heal, and now I’m passionate about helping others do the same. I’ve had the privilege of working with clients of all ages, and I’m excited to support you on your journey toward healing.

I work with couples and individuals. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress/anxiety, self worth/love/acceptance, relationship issues, family conflicts, parenting, vocational stress, among other life stressors. Most of my clients define their reasons for coming to therapy as simply wanting something more from their life and relationships. They often have trouble getting past thoughts and emotions that prevent them from moving forward. We will work together to get to the core of your troubling thoughts, emotions and behaviors. This, allowing you to move forward to a more fulfilling life of purpose and direction.

Making the decision to engage in therapy may be one of the most difficult and important decisions you make. It takes tremendous courage to acknowledge that you are struggling with – something – and to walk through those doors, sit down with a stranger, and begin to address these issues. It can take even more strength to ask for help if the issues you are struggling with are due to past trauma, substance abuse, or things you “should” be able to handle on your own. That is why it is so important to find the right therapist, someone who will listen with an open mind to try to understand you and your reasons for seeking help.

When we struggle with psychological distress, meaning stress, anxiety, panic, or overwhelming sadness, we tend to feel isolated and disconnected from the world. Do any of these resonate to you? Social connection is an intrinsic part of our human nature, and as such, in times of difficulty, seeking social support and guidance helps to improve our overall wellbeing.

Do you find it hard to ask for help? Maybe the cultural stigma that surrounds mental health issues makes you hesitate. Or maybe you're used to feeling dismissed when you do try to speak up about your struggles. Either way, I've been there too. As someone who's had to navigate living with mental illness, it is my goal to serve others who are in a similar position. I'm eager to work with anybody who wants to heal, even if they're not sure of where to start!

When the pattern of a good night's sleep seems like an impossible task, I can help. We all have those occasional nights when sleep eludes us. What makes it worse is that we try to force ourselves to sleep, which never works. However, when a lack of sleep becomes the pattern you may be suffering from Insomnia. Insomnia can be defined as difficulty achieving a "good night's sleep." If you're frustrated with feeling sleepy and fatigued during the day and can't sleep at night, contact me. Together we will develop strategies that will give you that restful and restorative sleep you deserve.

Many of us are shaped by external influences—family, peers, authority figures, and the media. Often, we're unaware of how these forces impact our sense of self, leading to disconnection and dissatisfaction as we navigate lives built on others' expectations rather than our own needs. Sometimes, we might not even know what we truly want or need. My approach to therapy provides a nurturing, non-judgmental space to explore your true self and uncover your genuine needs and desires. I enjoy working with men to deprogram societal expectations that cause harm, helping them find their true selves beneath cultural conditioning.

I am ready to be a part of your journey toward complete wellness. I have responded to my call to bring hope, to encourage, to empower, to bind the broken-hearted, and to help liberate the mind. People are hurting, and they need hope. Sadly, there are many who are hurting because they have lost all hope. People need to be encouraged and know that they are not here by mistake. Those with no hope don’t understand that they have a purpose, and I have made it my mission to help bring hope to those that are hopeless. I understand the connection between mental/spiritual health and physical health.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
