About My Clients
Feeling stuck? Being human can be really hard sometimes. Maybe you're exhausted from falling into the same relationship patterns, overwhelmed by anxiety spirals, or navigating a tough life transition. Or maybe you just want a space where you feel truly heard and seen. Therapy offers the chance to step out of patterns that no longer serve you and move toward more peace, balance, and relief.
My Background and Approach
Hi, I’m Taryn! I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), and I provide individual therapy virtually to clients across Illinois. I have experience supporting clients navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, anxiety, depression, burnout, stress, trauma, domestic violence/abuse, grief, and more. I believe that meaningful therapy starts with a strong, trusting relationship. I view the client-therapist connection as a key tool for healing and growth. In our work together, we’ll make space for your full emotional experience — without judgment, without rushing, and with deep respect for whatever you’re carrying. We’ll use curiosity, self-compassion, and even some humor as we celebrate wins, challenge patterns that no longer serve you, and move toward more presence and alignment in your life. My goal is to help you reconnect with your core values, deepen your self-understanding, and feel more grounded in who you are.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I value the importance of providing trauma-informed, culturally sensitive care. As a white therapist, I’m committed to ongoing anti-racism and anti-oppression work, and I approach therapy with a lens of social justice and equity. I integrate feminist therapy into my practice and actively welcome conversations about the impact of systemic inequality, power dynamics, and sociopolitical issues. My goal is to create a safe, affirming, and inclusive space that honors and celebrates all intersecting identities. Some of the core values I bring into the therapy space are compassion, connection, authenticity, and safety. I believe emotional safety is foundational — it’s what allows us to show up fully, to be vulnerable, and to do meaningful work together. I also believe therapy shouldn’t feel stuffy or robotic. I bring my genuine self into the room so you can feel free to do the same.
