"Tailah helped me see my patterns weren't a failure, and she gave me the tools and guidance to actually change them. She empowered me to let go of everything that wasn’t me. One of the best decisions I’ve made was working with her."

You raised yourself emotionally
You’ve mastered being "good," being "strong," being "no trouble."
You overthink every interaction and relationships feel impossible to navigate.
You feel guilty for struggling.
You sway between feelings of both anxiousness and depression
You’re usually unsure what you want, need, and feel.
If you're nodding to most of these, you're in the right place.
This is therapy for those who essentially raised themselves, and are now ready to finally feel fully alive & fearlessly authentic.
The way emotional neglect affects us requires relational healing. That relational attunement is an incredible core of our work together. I also offer the most renowned and proven modalities for developmental trauma and emotional neglect.
Psychodynamics
Psychodynamic therapy is foundational to most of psychology practice today. Its helps uncover your hidden drivers, unravelling the unconscious rules that are guiding your life, decisions and patterns, most often without your conscious awareness. Together, we explore the meaning you’ve made of the experiences you’ve had and how those meanings have formed your unconscious drivers. Through intentional conversation, we trace these threads back to their roots. It’s detective work for your psyche. Unlike bandaid solutions, psychodynamic therapy offers profound self-understanding, the kind that brings real relief, because you finally see that everything about you makes sense.
IFS/Parts Work
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is rapidly becoming one of the most highly regarded therapeutic modalities (and for good reason). The approach acknowledges we all have different parts or aspects of our personality. In therapy, we identify and understand how your parts interact, often uncovering protective patterns that formed during times of stress or trauma. The goal isn’t to remove or silence any part, but to help them work together in a more balanced way. As these parts begin to trust the leadership of the most radiant and authentic Self, reactivity decreases and a greater sense of internal harmony develops.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy is a body-oriented approach to healing trauma and other related conditions. It works from the understanding that trauma imprints are found in the body and nervous system, not just in cognitive memory. Addressing these body and nervous system imprints on a neurobiological level is imperative for truly overcoming the ghosts of traumatic experiences. As the body moves out of ‘stuck’ trauma responses, self-regulation can take place, and emotional patterns linked to the trauma begin to ease. The process supports the restoration of safety, relief, and more space for the authentic self.
Life Design
Life design is what I refer to as intentionally designing your life to naturally produce more of what you desire. It is the process of creating a life that complements your authentic energy and natural way of operating. It helps you understand how you’re uniquely wired and develop practical daily systems that support your uniqueness and help you succeed. We combine the most evident foundations of habit formation & energetic alignment principles. This is a profoundly beautiful stage to arrive at after deep healing work, ensuring you’re not only healed, but thriving.

All of which had left him feeling incredibly frustrated and unseen.
Together, we went beyond the confines of traditional talk therapy using a blend of somatic interventions, empowering insights, and a loving container for Jack to heal within.
