Hi, I’m Taylor. Before this chapter of my life began, I obtained a BA in Global Studies: Human Rights, Migrations & Social Movements. I spent the next 7 years working in human services- with refugees, with foster kids and families, and with folks experiencing homelessness. I absolutely adored that work, but found myself wanting to work more deeply with individuals to solve complex internal problems. Drawing from my experience in that field, I learned that our problems don’t exist in a vacuum- we are a microcosm within another microcosm within a macrocosm and it’s all interconnected. Across my personal and professional experiences, I’ve witnessed how structures shape lives, how trauma ripples across generations, and how resilience can and will take root even in the harshest conditions.

Obtaining my MA in Clinical Mental Health and becoming an LPCC helped me cultivate my love and skill for witnessing, understanding, and unpacking the gorgeous complexity of the Self. Nothing makes me feel more alive than being alongside people as they dive in and discover their capacity to change. I can’t express adequately with words how much I love change. I live by the philosophy that change is the only constant. I see change not as something to fear, but as a powerful force we can get to know, learn to love, and invite to walk beside us like a beloved friend.

I love being a therapist. This work has transformed and healed me and my relationships (as a client, and now both as a client and a practitioner) in ways I could never measure. So it is from a bottomless well of gratitude that I’ve dedicated my career to helping people cultivate their will and capacity for transformation.

As a Filipina-American, my cultural roots are woven into the way I work as a therapist. I move with the belief in our shared interconnectedness—that healing isn’t just personal, it’s collective. To me, therapy is about peeling back the layers that keep us separate from ourselves and from one another so we can live with honesty.

If any or all of that sounds intriguing to you, then I really think we should talk.
