If you're reading this because something in you feels stuck, disconnected, or like it's bracing for impact even when nothing's technically wrong, I know that feeling well. Like many of the people I work with, I know what it's like to feel disconnected from yourself, to question your place in the world, or to find your nervous system responding to life in ways that feel like they don't make sense. My own experience has taught me that healing rarely comes from just making the symptoms go away. More often, it emerges when you have room to reconnect with who you are beneath survival, expectation, and hypervigilance.
Therapy with me is a collaborative process of making sense of what's brought you here. Together, we'll explore your relationships, your history, and the patterns that continue to show up in your life, creating space for both curiosity and compassion along the way. While understanding these patterns is an important part of healing, I don't believe we stop there. We'll also pay attention to how those experiences live in your body, helping you move beyond simply knowing why you feel the way you do toward developing a deeper sense of safety, agency, and connection with yourself.
I love working with LGBTQIA2S+ clients, neurodivergent clients, and women, as identity-affirming care is at the heart of how I show up in every session. I also have a particular passion for supporting those healing from relational wounds, religious or spiritual trauma, and experiences that have left them feeling disconnected from themselves. In my work, I value authenticity, humour, and creating space where you don't have to carefully manage how you're showing up. You don't need to have the right words or a polished version of your story to start. My hope is that therapy becomes a
space where you can show up more fully as yourself and discover what becomes possible from there.
Who Taylor Supports
Taylor offers individual therapy to adults and teens (16+). While every person's story is unique, many of the people she works with share similar experiences, patterns, and questions. You don't need to relate to everything below, but if one (or more) of these experiences resonate, it's possible you and Taylor may be a good fit.
-
Relational & Developmental Trauma - You feel the lasting impact of experiences that taught you to stay small, stay alert, stay responsible, or disconnect from yourself just to get through.
-
Religious & Spiritual Trauma - You're questioning beliefs you once held, carrying shame around who you are, or wanting a relationship with spirituality that feels safe and compassion-led instead of anxiety-inducing.
-
Anxiety & Hypervigilance - Your mind rarely slows down, you feel responsible for everything around you, and it's hard to relax even when things are actually okay.
-
Relationships, Attachment & Intergenerational Patterns - You find yourself repeating patterns you didn't choose, struggling to trust, or noticing what's been passed down through your family or culture, and you're starting to question what you want to carry forward.
-
Life Transitions - You're moving through significant change or uncertainty, and finding that you've lost touch with your own needs and sense of self somewhere along the way.
How Taylor Helps
Insight alone doesn't always create change. It can tell us why we feel the way we do - but we often walk away from that insight thinking, "okay, but what do I do with this? How do I actually feel better?"
Taylor draws on a variety of therapeutic approaches to help answer that question, each playing a different role in the process:
-
Relational Psychodynamic Therapy is where insight starts to build. Together, we look at how your history and relationships have shaped the way you experience yourself and others now, including in the relationship between us.
-
Somatic Therapy brings the body into that process. Tension, bracing, a racing heart, or a sudden urge to shut down often carry information before we have words for it. In session, that might mean pausing on a physical sensation as it shows up, instead of talking past it.
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) gets curious about the different parts of you that developed for good reason: the part that protects, the part that people-pleases, the part still holding onto old pain. Instead of trying to get rid of these parts, we build a relationship with them so they don't have to work so hard.
-
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) turns toward the emotional patterns shaping your relationships, often rooted in older fears about safety, trust, or being truly seen. This can look like slowing down a familiar moment with someone close to you to notice what's underneath it, and what you actually need.
-
Liberation Psychology keeps the bigger picture in view. Identity, socioeconomic context, and political realities all shape us, and naming this context can support us in reclaiming a sense of choice within it.
Taylor’s Credentials & Training
Get to Know Taylor
Taylor grew up in the St. Louis area, which means she has strong opinions about
Cardinals baseball and a slight country twang that creeps back into her voice when
she's tired, excited, or talking to her mom on the phone. While her formative years in St.
Louis were rooted in close community and family, they also came with the experience of
growing up as a bisexual teenager in religious spaces that often didn’t leave room for
that to be okay. Those experiences shaped her curiosity about the ways identity and
spirituality intersect, which continue to influence the perspective she brings into both her
personal life and her work.
Taylor has always been a learner at heart and jokes that she would happily stay in
school forever if tuition wasn’t a thing. She’s usually reading, experimenting with a new
recipe, starting a creative project she'll eventually finish, or sharing her latest ideas with
her partner. Since moving to Toronto in 2022, this same curiosity has supported her in
slowly getting to know the city, one questionable subway transfer at a time.
What to Expect in Your First Session
Taylor believes the heart of therapy is the relationship you build together. A first sessionis rooted in getting to know each other and building a sense of comfort, so we can start to understand what makes you, you.
She also trusts the wisdom you already carry, even if it feels buried or hard to access right now. Together, you'll explore what's helped you get here, what hasn't, and what you want from your time together. The goal isn't to have everything figured out in the first session; it's about meeting you where you are and starting to make sense of what you're looking for. By the end of the first session, you'll have a better sense of what working together could feel like, and where you'd like to go from here.
