Hey, I’m Taryn! I believe that holding a space for individuals to reconnect and heal the relationship with themselves is one of the most beautiful aspects of therapy. In my experience, therapy is a mixture of cultivating inner love, deconstructing shame, and allowing all emotions to exist without judgment. Laughter and tears are welcome too :)

My passions within the therapy world are working through trauma, anxiety, body image, and exploring gender expressions and sexual identities. I enjoy working primarily with adolescents and young adults and I strive to be queer/LGBTQIA+ affirming. I chose to pursue a career in counseling to hold a space for individuals to feel safe in their mind and body. I integrate compassion-focused therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, and somatic/mindfulness practices. I believe that all parts of us are good and deserve to be heard, seen, and loved.

Alongside my graduate studies, I am pursuing a Trauma Counseling Certificate. I have experience working with adolescent girls in the foster care system as an intensive behavioral treatment counselor. During my undergraduate studies, I also gained experience at a women’s empowerment center focused on healthy relationships, body image, and sex positivity.
