Taylor Murray, M.A.
RESIDENT IN COUNSELING
My name is Taylor! My approach as a therapist is rooted in the belief that every person holds an innate capacity for healing, and that our symptoms—however distressing—often carry the wisdom of parts of us that have been burdened by pain, neglect, or unmet needs. My desire is to offer clients a safe space to process their thoughts and feelings, grow in self-awareness, and heal from past or present hurt.
-
I practice from a holistic and trauma-informed framework, integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative, and attachment-based interventions to support you in exploring your inner world and understanding how early relational patterns may continue to shape your current experiences and relationships. I also incorporate body-centered practices that help restore regulation and foster a greater sense of safety and integration within the nervous system.
I believe that every part of you and your story is valuable and worthy of good care. I am passionate about helping you reflect on your story with compassion and curiosity and identify new ways of being in relationship with yourself and others.

Rin Poss, M.A.
RESIDENT IN COUNSELING
My name is Rin and I am a LPC Resident. I am so honored to work with your sacred story. As a counselor, I create a space for you to grow into a more alive and vibrant version of yourself as you process your experiences, emotions, and beliefs. I want you to leave our time together feeling like there is more goodness in you than you realized and more hope for your future.
“Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are, is what gives us the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people” -Mr. (Fred) Rogers
-
As a trauma focused counselor, I use body-focused and nervous-system informed interventions, mindfulness techniques, and parts work to guide you into a deeper trust of your own experience.
Your symptoms want to be noticed because they point to a deeper wisdom. We will learn that trauma is capable of telling lies about your identity, but you are not broken.
Together we can uncover the greater truth about who you are and what’s possible. I can’t promise a quick fix, but if you feel overwhelmed by life or stuck in the same repeating cycles, we can work together to identify a better path forward.
We may be a good fit if you’re looking to:
· Be kinder towards yourself
· Heal relationships
· Feel more empowered
· Navigate boundaries
· Recover from trauma

Sarah High, M.A.
RESIDENT IN COUNSELING
Hi everyone! My name is Sarah and I am a licensed resident in counseling. I work alongside clients as they make sense of painful or overwhelming experiences that may feel hard to hold alone. I believe these experiences can disconnect us from parts of ourselves, and even from our own bodies, leading to anxiety, sadness, or a sense of feeling stuck. My goal is to support you in gently reconnecting with yourself through curiosity, compassion, and a strong therapeutic relationship.
-
My work is relational and person-centered, drawing from mindfulness/body-based practices, family-of-origin exploration, and an acceptance-based approach that honors all parts of you and your story. Outside of work I like to hang out and goof off with my family and friends, run trails, read fantasy fiction and find creative ways to be creative.

I specialize in:

• Identity issues
• Career & vocational concerns
• Anxiety
