About Life's in Session
Origin
Meet Taylor
When naming the practice, I knew I wanted it to be more than a logo; I wanted it to say, "I believe every single person deserves to be met with kindness and curiosity, and be a present and active participant in their life; free and informed from the past, but not looking blindly ahead, that we miss out on experiencing our ‘now’.". However, that's too long for a business card. When I saw a sign that used to hang above the door of my families little beach-side ice cream shop, that says 'Life is now in session', I thought "Wow! That totally encapsulates the vibe I'm going for (yes, I really thought encapsulates the vibes).".
Â
I wouldn't be the practitioner or human I am today, without the lessons I learned growing up getting pummeled playing in the waves and scooping ice cream with a summer crowd. And so... Life's in Session Counseling Co. is an ode to the beginning of my now.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and take a person-centered approach, meeting people where they are to discover helpful insights to live with a bit more ease, to stay more present, to walk with you through the process of change, or simply to validate that being human can is hard.
​
After graduating from the University of South Florida with my Bachelor's degree, I gained experience volunteering as a crisis counselor. I later went on to work a clerical position for psychologists, and as an advocate in a women and child shelter for those in domestic violence situations. Those experiences encouraged me to pursue my career in counseling. I attended Northwestern University where I earned my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2021.

Outside of the office I can be found hanging out with my animals (2 dogs, a cat, & a horse), playing video games, somewhere near the water, or trying a new outlandish hobby.Â
