Hi, I'm Tarynn. I'm a licensed therapist, coach, and consultant based in New York City.
My clients are smart, self-aware, and often the ones everyone else leans on. They're founders, creatives, high-achievers, and doers. Many are queer. Some are in non-monogamous or non-traditional relationships. Most are exhausted. Almost all are holding things no one else sees — perfectionism, emotional paralysis, shame, numbness, or the quiet feeling that the life they built doesn't quite fit.
They come to me because they're done with surface-level fixes. They want to understand themselves at the root. They want real change. And they want someone who can hold the full complexity of who they are without flinching.

Therapy that's deep, honest, and built for people who think a lot.

My approach
I'm not a blank slate therapist. I'm warm, curious, and direct when it matters. I'll hold space for what's hard and name what you might be avoiding.
Our work might include:
· Internal Family Systems (IFS) — understanding the different parts of you that show up in love, work, sex, and conflict
· Somatic work — learning to feel safe in your body again, especially if you've been stuck in overdrive
· Psychodynamic therapy — uncovering the patterns and wounds that keep looping
· EMDR — processing trauma at the level where it actually lives
· Cognitive work and coaching — building the skills to set boundaries, communicate better, and move through resistance
What we do depends on who you are. My job is to hold space, ask the right questions, challenge what needs to be challenged, and stay deeply curious about what you're here to heal.
