Creating a safe and supportive space is at the heart of my work as a therapist. I believe that healing happens in relationships grounded in authenticity, non-judgment, and genuine warmth. Therapy asks a lot of us; finding a therapist who feels safe enough to share your story with shouldn't be the hardest part. My goal is to understand your experience, honor your story, and help you find a way forward that feels meaningful to you.
But most importantly, I want you to know that every part of you is welcome here: the sadness, loneliness, joy, chaos, anger, shame, and everything in between. Come as you are.

I am LGBTQIA plus affirming.
Hi, my name is Madeline. I was born and raised in Colorado. I am an LPCC and art therapist who works with individuals across all ages and populations. I believe that seeking help is an act of courage, and that therapists have the privilege of honoring that courage by offering grounded, compassionate, and intentional care. I am driven by a genuine desire to get to know people intentionally and authentically. Whenever I have the opportunity to make art with my clients, I consider it an honor. Art has been a catalyst for healing in my own life, and I have witnessed its power in the lives of others.

My ideal clients are thoughtful, sensitive individuals who feel something in their lives is no longer working. Often helpers or creatives, they come with anxiety, burnout, relational challenges, or a sense of disconnection and longing for deeper meaning. I support them through a relational, somatic, mindfulness-based, and depth psychology approach—helping them slow down, reconnect with their bodies and inner world, and explore patterns and unconscious material. Through this work, clients build self-trust, clarity, and more aligned ways of being.
