As a licensed therapist in New York, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My approach is rooted in compassionate, holistic care that honors each person's unique journey. I have extensive experience helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem challenges across diverse life stages.
My therapeutic work focuses on addressing a wide range of concerns, including communication difficulties, social anxiety, life purpose exploration, attachment issues, and multicultural experiences. I am particularly committed to supporting young adults, individuals experiencing relationship transitions, and those healing from challenging life experiences.
Drawing from a Christian-informed perspective, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their emotional landscape, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. My goal is to walk alongside you with empathy, understanding, and genuine care as you work toward healing and transformation.

She is very sweet and sympathetic. If you’re looking for comfort or peace, she has genuine conversations with you and it can be on anything. I love the way she incorporates scripture when she provides tools to me.

Taryn has been a huge help to me. I was very lost when I connected with her back in February and I believe that she has helped me work through a lot of my difficulties and have a better outlook towards life. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a therapist that takes the time to listen to you while also offering solutions that dont seem too out of place.
