Her approach combines clinical understanding with compassion, ensuring that clients feel seen, validated, and supported as they rebuild confidence and independence. In addition to her clinical expertise, Taylor has experience working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals living with head injuries, and those managing co-occurring mental health and medical conditions.

Outside of her clinical work, Taylor enjoys painting, hiking, running, cooking, and spending time with her dogs.
