"Therapy is a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself."

all about madeline
Madeline believes therapy should feel like a space where you can be completely yourself. She uses a warm, open, and non-judgmental approach to create a collaborative environment for her clients. Madeline’s positive and outgoing personality helps clients feel heard and accepted from the moment they walk into session.
Madline believes her clients are the experts on their own experiences. Through growing up as a competitive tennis player, she saw firsthand how people respond to pressure and navigate stressful situations in different ways. Rather than telling her clients what to do, Madeline wants to help them better understand themselves, their emotions, and their relationships so that they can make choices that feel right for them.
Madeline brings a balance of warmth, curiosity, and authenticity into her work. Her clients feel comfortable showing up, knowing that they don’t have to have everything figured out before walking through the door.
how she works
Madeline works with young adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, life transitions, relationship challenges, and stress. She enjoys working with clients seeking to better understand themselves and their emotions.
Madeline’s approach is primarily person-centered, drawing from CBT, DBT, ACT, and solution-focused techniques depending on each client’s needs and goals. She believes therapy should be collaborative and tailored to the individual rather than one-size-fits-all. Madeline’s goal is to create a space where clients feel understood and supported while developing practical tools to manage challenges, build self-awareness, and make meaningful changes.
Ultimately, Madeline wants her clients to feel more grounded, confident, and connected to themselves. Whether they are working through a specific challenge or exploring patterns that have been holding them back, she wants to help them better understand and feel empowered to navigate life in a way that feels authentic.
