About Madeline
Specialties include trauma, grief, anxiety, and life transitions.
Madeline provides a warm and safe environment for clients to process trauma, grief, and the complexities of being human. She recognizes the courage it takes to be vulnerable and deeply values the trust that forms the foundation of the therapeutic relationship. With care and compassion, Madeline creates a space where clients can show up authentically, experience emotional safety, and be met with unconditional positive regard.
In addition to private practice, Madeline has worked in inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings as well as non-profit organizations. Throughout her career, she has been continually humbled by the resilience, growth, and bravery she has witnessed in individuals navigating recovery and healing. Madeline considers it her honor to partner with her clients as they explore their unique story, and her hope is that therapy will provide an avenue to experience more freedom, joy, and connection.
Madeline takes a trauma-informed approach to therapy grounded in evidence-based modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment Theory, and somatic and emotion-focused models to support meaningful and lasting change. She creates a collaborative relationship where clients feel heard, validated, and empowered.
