Are intrusive thoughts and relentless anxiety making it hard to be the mom you want to be?

My approach is designed for moms who want to stop spiraling with anxiety and reconnect with what truly matters. Using evidence-based tools, I’ll guide you through the steps to break the OCD cycle, so you can find calm, peace, and the ability to be fully present with your kids. You deserve to move beyond worry and experience motherhood with clarity and confidence.

Hi, I’m Taylor

I’ve had the privilege of working in a range of mental health settings, including a Partial Hospitalization Program, Intensive Outpatient Program, Community Mental Health Center, and several schools. These experiences have given me a broad understanding of mental health needs across different life stages, helping me better serve each client’s unique goals. I discovered my true passion in one-on-one work, where I can create a safe, trusting environment to walk with clients through some of their most challenging moments.

I hold a Master of Social Work from Ramapo College of New Jersey and am trained in specialized approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as techniques rooted in Mindfulness and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My lived experience as a Mom who has OCD, panic attacks, and Anxiety gives me a unique perspective—I deeply understand the overwhelming grip of Anxiety and OCD, as well as the strength and freedom that come with overcoming it. Living a values-driven life fuels my passion for helping other moms find their own way to peace and confidence in motherhood.

As a mom, I understand the struggle to stay present when anxiety and OCD pull your attention away from what truly matters.

My own journey began when I was 15, as OCD filled my mind with disturbing intrusive thoughts, triggering hours of compulsions just to ease my fears. On the outside, I seemed fine, but inside, I was overwhelmed. It wasn’t until I started my own therapy, nervous but determined, that I learned how to live with less shame and more self-compassion. Since then, my life hasn’t been free from struggle, but with the support of loved ones, the tools I’ve learned, and a strong foundation in my faith, I now know what it’s like to live without fear in the driver’s seat.

You want to find peace from the constant worry and intrusive thoughts, and I’m here to help you achieve that.

Through our work together, we’ll tackle anxiety and OCD using a combination of Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

These evidence-based approaches are designed to break the cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsions, helping you gain confidence in managing anxiety without letting it control your life.

With I-CBT, we’ll challenge the assumptions fueling your fears, allowing you to see intrusive thoughts for what they are—just thoughts, not facts. Through ERP, we’ll take gentle steps toward facing what you fear most without giving in to compulsions, building resilience along the way. And with ACT, I’ll guide you to identify and act on your values so you can focus on what matters most instead of what OCD tells you to fear.

    By facing your fears head-on without resorting to your typical compulsive responses, you will gradually learn that your anxiety diminishes over time, leading to a reduction in the power of their obsessions.

  • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

    A powerful approach that focuses on helping you live a life aligned with your values. Rather than trying to eliminate intrusive thoughts, ACT teaches you to accept their presence without letting them dictate your actions or control your day-to-day life.
