Taylor earned her Bachelor of Science in Sociology from the University of Nebraska at Kearney and her Master of Arts in Counseling, with an emphasis in Couples and Family Therapy, from the University of Missouri–Kansas City. She is a Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor (PLPC) in the state of Missouri.

Taylor works with children, teens, adults, couples, and families and takes a holistic, client-centered approach to therapy. She believes that each person brings their own unique experiences, strengths, and challenges into the therapy room, and she strives to create a space where clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves. Taylor incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work and has a special interest in the Gottman Method for couples therapy. She has experience helping clients navigate concerns such as anxiety, depression, personality disorders, relationship challenges, burnout, and religious trauma.

Taylor believes that therapy is not about having all the answers, but about having a safe and supportive place to explore where you are, where you want to go, and what may be getting in the way. She is passionate about helping clients build lives that feel rich, meaningful, and aligned with their values. She is also passionate about helping couples strengthen their connection and create loving, healthy relationships. Above all, Taylor believes in meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them throughout the therapeutic process. She welcomes clients of all backgrounds and strives to provide a warm and compassionate environment.

Before becoming a counselor, Taylor spent five years working as a Certified Medical Laboratory Technician in Nebraska. After moving to Kansas City with her husband, she decided to return to school and pursue her long-time dream of becoming a therapist. Her previous career, along with her counseling education and ongoing professional training, has given her an appreciation for lifelong learning and the many different experiences that shape who we are. Outside of the therapy room, Taylor enjoys spending time with her husband, son, friends, two dogs, and cat. She loves being outdoors, going on nature walks, reading, drinking coffee, and listening to music and podcasts. She brings the same curiosity, warmth, and appreciation for life's meaningful moments into her work with clients.
