Skill Set and Expertise

She offers support to individuals who may demonstrate known factors of eating disorders (chronic dieting, body image concerns, anxiety, and low self-esteem), with the intent to help them cultivate a healthier relationship with food and their bodies. She strives to create a safe and comfortable environment for clients during sessions and remains sensitive and understanding of client's unique experiences and challenges. She utilizes her ability to empathize and listen to clients in a nonjudgmental manner with the intent to strengthen the therapeutic relationship and encourage open communication.

Taylor uses an integrative approach during sessions, which combines techniques and interventions from different types of therapy, thus individualizing clients’ treatment depending on their unique needs. During sessions she incorporates techniques and interventions from person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), compassion-focused therapy (CFT), strength-based therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT).

She is very passionate about advocating for mental health and working with clients to further develop their relationships with themselves. She believes no one should struggle alone regardless of the circumstances they have faced or are currently facing, and she is thankful to be a part of my clients' healing journey.
