Hi, I'm Taylar

I am a therapist in Vermont who is committed to providing compassionate and inclusive care. As someone who identifies as queer, is neurodivergent and lives with autoimmune conditions, my personal experiences deeply influence my therapeutic approach and are foundational to my values.

I am a pre-licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (MA, CMHC). I am diligently working under the supervision of an experienced clinician to deliver therapy services through Open Gate VT. My academic focus has been on Expressive Art Therapies, Somatic Healing, Holistic Wellness, Internal Family Systems, Social Justice, and SAIGE Studies.

I have a deep appreciation for the service industry, a passion for snowboarding, connecting to nature, a love of gardening and homesteading, and a dedication to nurturing meaningful relationships. I bring several years of experience as a holistic wellness practitioner specializing in herbalism, energy healing, and various holistic modalities to my practice.


Dedicated to providing a space that is LGBTQIAO2s+ affirming, Body Liberating, Sex Positive,Anti-Racist, and Disability Justice Oriented. Together, we lean on collaboration to build a solid relationship in which we can begin to explore the challenges of our internal and external experiences.
