Hello and welcome! I’m Taylor and it’s wonderful to “meet” you!
I provide counseling in person at our Asheville, NC office and via telehealth through NC and California!
Therapy is, above all, a human connection. In fact, research says that THE MOST important aspect of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. I strive to make therapy a place where your authentic personality can show up. My approach as a therapist is warm, relational, authentic and supportive. When you step into my office, my focus is for you to feel that you are in an entirely supportive and non-judgmental space.
I graduated from the University of San Diego in 2021 with my MA in Marital and Family Therapy. I chose to become a Marriage and Family Therapist because of my passion for helping people navigate the complexities of human relationships. Whether you are struggling to communicate with your partner, are estranged from a family member, are a teen struggling with friendships, or maybe you grew up in a dysfunctional household; my hope is that therapy can be a space to find more meaning, healing, and fulfillment in your relationships and personal life.
I am trained in and drawn to attachment science, inner child work, IFS, CBT, DBT,
mindfulness practices, emotion focused therapy, and the Gottman Method (Level II trained). I take a strength-based and person-centered approach, meaning that I truly believe you are the expert in the room, and I am simply here to be curious, be a witness, and provide a non-biased perspective from a place of genuine care. I don’t believe there is one intervention or method that is a one-size-fits-all. I want us to collaborate and find what works best for you!
I specialize in working with couples using the Gottman Method and Emotion Focused Therapy. I have experience working with couples struggling with infidelity, communication, differing or similar attachment styles, household expectations and needs, and lack of intimacy and affection. I also work with adults and teens, and provide family therapy for adult children and their parents wanting to repair strained relationships.
I enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals and couples, and welcome LGBTQIA+ couples and individuals. I am committed to making therapy a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment for all.
I believe therapy is sacred. I understand how difficult It can be to be vulnerable. I will always do my best to honor your story and come alongside you in your journey. I look forward to meeting you, and I’m so glad you are here!
When I am not in therapist mode, you can find me reading, eating, watching
documentaries and TV shows, listening to audio books and podcasts, enjoying the
outdoors, being active, and spending time with my partner, family and friends.
