Hello! I’m Taylor, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with years of experience and specialized training. I view therapy sessions as a team effort between the client and myself to explore what works best for you as a unique individual. I am dedicated to guiding individuals through their unique journeys toward healing and self-discovery. My approach is holistic and tailored to meet the distinct needs of each person I work with. I believe in the resilience of the human spirit! I have had the privilege of witnessing remarkable transformations in my clients as they confront and overcome challenges related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and many more diagnoses. These experiences have not only honed my expertise but have also deepened my empathy and commitment to providing compassionate support.In our sessions together, you can expect a safe space where your feelings are validated, your experiences are acknowledged, and your personal growth is nurtured. I utilize evidence-based therapeutic techniques combined with genuine empathy to help you unlock your potential for healing and happiness. 

My approach to treating anxiety

In the realm of mental health, understanding and treating anxiety requires a nuanced approach, one that recognizes the multifaceted nature of this condition. Anxiety, often misunderstood as mere worry or nervousness, can be debilitating, affecting every aspect of life. My method begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand the roots and triggers of an individual's anxiety. This personalized insight allows me to craft a treatment plan that addresses both the symptoms and their underlying causes. I employ a blend of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge and reframe negative thought patterns, mindfulness techniques to ground clients in the present moment, and the introduction to coping mechanisms to quickly reduce anxiety in situations of panic.This multifaceted strategy not only helps clients manage their anxiety but also empowers them with tools for long-term resilience. By fostering an environment of trust and open communication, I guide individuals through their journey towards peace and stability, ensuring that each step is tailored specifically to their needs and goals.

My approach to treating depression

I am deeply committed to guiding individuals through their darkest moments towards pathways of hope and healing. Depression is multifaceted, often weaving a complex tapestry of emotional pain, physical exhaustion, and cognitive hurdles. Recognizing this intricate nature, I integrate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to address the various dimensions of depression. These modalities not only help in dismantling negative thought patterns but also in cultivating a more compassionate relationship with oneself. Central to my treatment philosophy is the belief that each individual holds within them the potential for resilience and renewal. Through collaborative exploration and skill-building, we work together to unlock these inner resources. It is through this personalized therapeutic journey that my clients can rediscover joy, establish meaningful connections, and embrace life’s possibilities anew.

My approach to treating ADHD

In the realm of mental health, ADHD is often misunderstood and mischaracterized, leading to challenges in both diagnosis and treatment. In navigating ADHD, my focus extends beyond mere management of symptoms; it involves unlocking the potential within each individual to harness their strengths and channel their focus more effectively. My therapeutic approach is rooted in understanding the intricate dynamics of how ADHD impacts daily functioning, self-esteem, and personal relationships. By employing cognitive-behavioral strategies and motivational interviewing, I guide clients through personalized pathways designed to enhance concentration, organization, and emotional regulation. I work together with my clients to develop schedules, routines, coping strategies, and brain-based memory and attention techniques to repair and enhance their ability to be successful in their day to day lives! 

My approach to treating PTSD

Overcoming PTSD involves a journey of resilience and recovery, a path that I am deeply committed to facilitating as an LPC counselor. My approach to treating PTSD is rooted in trauma-informed care, recognizing the profound impact that traumatic experiences have on an individual's mental health and well-being. By creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, I help clients feel understood and validated in their experiences.This foundational trust allows us to explore the depths of their trauma at a pace that respects their emotional boundaries. Utilizing evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy, I work with clients to process traumatic memories in a way that reduces their emotional intensity. This therapeutic process not only helps diminish the symptoms of PTSD but also empowers clients by fostering resilience, self-compassion, and personal growth.
