WELCOME

Therapy helps to clarify, reflect on, understand life, and heal through relating. Do you find yourself having the same argument over and over? Do you need support for emotional processing? Do you feel lost in life and are looking for meaning? Do you want to feel closer with your partner/s? Do you want to know who you are? These are questions we can address together. My name is Taylor, and my pronouns are he/him. I describe my therapeutic style as Psychodynamic in concert with Existential work. I am also trained in Thanatology/Death and Dying. I work with individuals, trauma, and relationships. I work to be supportive, understanding, and present. I will be open to your feelings and thoughts during  difficult times and create a safe and secure to address the hurt, trauma, memories, and things you may be avoiding.

The unique needs and goals you have will influence the amount of time we work together, what our focus will be, and how far we reach. We will check in regularly about the progress we are making and change as needed during our time together.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology, my Masters in Clinical Counseling Psychology, and my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I use a variety of methods, including EMDR, Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy" (ISTDP), Existential, psychoanalysis, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), Ego State/Parts work (EST) and more to explore how your early experience has influenced the way you see yourself, the world, and get along with others as well as how it is going today.  I work with clients everywhere on the gender and sexuality spectrums, relationships formations and status, and multiple non-majority spiritual paths. I also use techniques from the Gottman method, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and other couples and marriage models.

What you can expect working with me:

I work from an interpersonal and relational frame. I use our relationship and connect it to the rest of your life. Inner and relational conflict is a combination of all the stuff that comes with being human, those inner pieces of you that were present the moment you existed, along with everything that happened along the way, forgotten memories, who and what we were raised with. We can talk about all these things, along with the parts of living that don’t always get talked about. At times we may confront some of these difficult truths about living. These can include, death, freedom, meaning in life, as well as feeling alone and seeking connection. I work with the content, what is said, and the process, what our words tell us about the nature of our relationship and others you have. These go together to help us see how we engage in the world and what we may want to change about that. I work with an integrated range of styles including helping you identify what may be preventing you from engaging with life the way you, focusing on this, and working hard to change these patterns. Together we can address skills, information, practice, communication, and anything else we decide.
