Hi, I'm Taylor. I'm a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, psychotherapist, and professor at the University of North Florida. I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from the University of Florida, with a specialization in advanced practice psychiatric nursing (PMHNP-BC). During grad school, I also worked as a crisis counselor and trainer for the Alachua County Crisis Center. I completed postgraduate residency training with the VA Boston and Harvard South Shore Psychiatry. In addition to my clinical work, I am a PhD candidate in nursing at Boston College, where my research focuses on health and wellbeing in adults with ADHD.  
 

My clinical background is in integrated psychotherapy and psychiatric medication management with various populations, including college students, LGBTQ+ individuals, older adults, perinatal clients, and Veterans across inpatient and outpatient settings. I recently completed the Finley Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Fellowship and was selected as a 2026 American Psychoanalytic Association Fellow. I plan to continue advanced psychoanalytic psychotherapy training and certification through the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute. I engage in ongoing clinical supervision to promote safe and ethical practice, while fostering continuous professional development.
 

My work is primarily rooted in the psychodynamic and psychoanalytic tradition, while also drawing upon my background in Bowen family systems therapy, CBT, DBT, and existential-humanistic therapy when helpful. I bring an eclectic lens to my clinical work, bridging the breadth my knowledge and experience  as a clinician-scientist with my deep appreciation for the spiritual, relational, and meaning-making dimensions of life.
