Taylor is a passionate and experienced mental health professional with over a decade of service dedicated to the emotional and developmental well-being of children and adolescents. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Mount Olive with a Bachelor’s degree in Child Psychology and earned her Master’s in School Counseling from Liberty University, graduating Magna Cum Laude.

Taylor is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA), a certified School Counselor through the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, and a Youth Mental Health First Aid Instructor.

For 12 years, Taylor served as a school counselor, supporting students facing challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence, learning differences, oppositional behaviors (ODD), eating disorders, attachment issues, and life transitions. Her counseling style is structured, trauma-informed, client-centered, and goal-oriented, grounded in Attachement Theory and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and guided by deep empathy and respect for each individual’s unique story.

She works with children as young as 6 through young adults up to age 25 and is especially passionate about helping youth navigate critical developmental stages. While trauma work is a growing area of focus in her practice, Taylor is currently expanding her skillset with additional training in play therapy to better serve younger clients. Taylor welcomes individuals from all cultural backgrounds, identities, and family systems with warmth, inclusivity, and nonjudgment.

Outside of her professional life, Taylor finds joy in the little things—beach days, reading, cheering on her daughter at the ball field alongside her husband, and relaxing at home with her two cats, Willow and Winter. A homebody at heart, she believes that healing often begins with connection, safety, and the comfort of being truly seen and heard.
