Find freedom in vulnerability.

Counseling is a place to connect with a professional and learn how to share and process your story in healthy ways. By building a relationship based on acceptance rather than judgment, you can learn to objectively assess your journey and gain the skills you need to create lasting change.

How sessions work.

First, Taryn will work with you to explore your goals and the appropriate schedule that meets your needs. During your first few sessions, you’ll begin building the relationship and learning more about each other and what’s bringing you into counseling. Then you and Taryn will work together to decide the best treatment approach going forward.

Flexible sessions for your unique needs.

Each session typically lasts about 45 to 50 minutes, and can be in person or virtual if necessary. Taryn serves men and women of all ages, including adolescents, college students, and adults seeking freedom from dysfunctional beliefs and behaviors to increase self-awareness and effective coping skills. Taryn implements a range of treatment modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic theory.

About Taryn

Taryn’s goal as a counselor is to walk alongside clients as they process past and present difficulties while also learning to implement effective skills for change, healing, and freedom to occur in their life.

Her training incorporates faith and psychology to professionally address the needs of a client. She counsels from a Christ-centered perspective, but she has many clients who wish to not have religion or faith included in their therapeutic process, a right she respects with each client.

  • “I can't recommend Taryn enough! I had avoided going to therapy for years, and Taryn has made the experience so much better than I could've imagined. She's incredibly easy to talk to and I look forward to our visits, even when I know we're going to talk about topics that I dread. I've been seeing Taryn regularly for a year now, and she was instrumental in helping me out of my deepest depression. I think she's a perfect balance of professional while at the same time making you feel like you're just talking to a friend.”
