Taryn’s Approach to Therapy

Taryn’s therapeutic approach is integrative, collaborative, and rooted in client-centered care. She draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and multicultural frameworks emphasizing identity-affirming practices. Taryn strives to create a warm and supportive space where clients can explore the connections between their emotions, behaviors, and relationships. She is mindful of how larger societal systems shape mental health and works with clients to deepen insight, build emotional regulation skills, and make meaningful, values-aligned changes in their lives.
