Hi, my name is Taylor I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialize in supporting adolescents, teens, and young adults as they navigate the many pressures and transitions of growing up. Today’s world can feel intense. Academic stress, social anxiety, identity exploration, relationship struggles, and the constant pressure to perform and “have it all together” can take a real toll on mental health. For student-athletes, the load is often even heavier—balancing school, practices, games, and expectations from coaches, parents, and peers.

In therapy, I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where young people can open up, build confidence, and learn tools to manage stress, emotions, and relationships more effectively. I also work with families to strengthen communication and create a more connected, understanding home environment.

"Most insurances are accepted"

My journey to becoming a mental health provider developed out of an interest in human behaviors; specifically, how our present relationships are influenced by early attachments. After completing several degrees from New York University and further postgraduate psychoanalytic training, my clinical work in a variety of outpatient settings led me to a deeper understanding of the importance of individualized care for each person. I concluded that the creation of a safe space for clients in navigating their mental health journeys is an imperative for my continued professional work as a mental health

specialist.

As a provider I continue to follow advances in psychodynamic, psychoanalytic and evidence based practice research.

My path to becoming a therapist began with personal loss and deep grief, which reshaped how I understood connection and healing. As an educator, I was drawn to supporting students emotionally, but I realized my passion lay in helping people navigate inner struggles more directly. Therapy helped me confront fear and embrace change. That experience, combined with my background in education, laid the foundation for my clinical work. Today, I integrate empathy, resilience, and trauma-informed care to support individuals, couples, and families on their healing journeys.

Virtual • New York


As a Black, queer, Caribbean/LatinX individual who practices therapy from a non-oppressive and radically authentic lens I draw on over ten years of experience working with women, children and communities of color around topics of equity, sexuality, education, LGBTQ+, and trauma. I use my knowledge and background to analyze issues with a strong understanding of the systems, personal history and survival skills that influence your identity today. I am interested in understanding 'personal language' (emotions and perspective) to address the current design of your relationships and encourage transformations better suited for your goals

I address concerns with family dynamics, infidelity, trauma in relationships, cultural concerns, interracial identities, breaking generational cycles, shifts in desires, sex therapy, communications challenges & non traditional relationships. My therapeutic style incorporates narrative therapy, EFT & SFT while also being poly and kink informed

Having intersecting identities and working through life issues can lead to compounding experiences that come with various emotions. My goal is to listen to each member's needs and highlight options based on values and proximity to resources. This process is not linear but the space we create together will be safe enough for us to work through
