Constantly bracing for the next crisis or struggling to feel safe—even when you know you are—is an incredibly heavy weight to carry. Trauma and life transitions can often make you feel like you’ve lost your voice and your sense of self.
You may notice a lingering sense of unease that won't go away, even when life is stable. If you feel constantly on edge or doubt your own reality, please know these are natural responses to unnatural stress.
I support adults, as well as children and adolescents (10+) in navigating these complexities to move beyond survival mode and reconnect with a sense of internal safety that feels sustainable.

Maddie is such a compassionate and present person. Talking with her is like talking with a friend by a lake on a summer evening: chill, relaxed, and insightful. Some people are born for this work, and Maddie is one of those people. She really dives in deep with her clients to try to learn what is going on, why her clients are stuck in that place, and what is needed to make change.

Do you ever feel like your mind is racing and you can't stop? Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns over and over again with no way out? Ever feel like you are constantly using ineffective coping to feel better, such as using sex, substances, and mindless scrolling on your phone? Anxiety and trauma can steal time and energy from living a fulfilling life. I view therapy as a safe space to understand yourself, develop your strengths, build self-compassion, and foster growth to move towards the life you want to lead.

I use a culturally adaptive, evidence-based style that develops based on the strengths of the individual, the context for their struggles and their level of readiness for change. I feel adaptivity is an undervalued skill for therapists, because people are different in so many ways. I am known to be a therapist that helps patients develop tangible goals and build real skills. I believe it is critical for a therapist to help a patient develop techniques that help foster noticeable positive changes in their day to day life.

I hold the therapy process with warmth, curiosity, and a sense of possibility. I create an open, non-judgmental space to explore what matters most to you and support meaningful, lasting change.
Many clients I work with are thoughtful, capable people who feel challenged by old, outdated stories about themselves. Therapy becomes a place to gently explore these patterns and reconnect with a greater sense of agency and choice.
My work is trauma-informed, with significant training in complex and developmental trauma, including NARM, informed by IFS. We move at a pace that supports healthy nervous system regulation and sustainable change.

My ideal client is someone who’s driven and capable, but who is quietly struggling with anxiety, panic, or emotional exhaustion beneath the surface. They’ve spent time performing at a high level, often in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, and they’ve gotten used to holding it all together. But lately, the internal pressure feels unsustainable. They may be experiencing racing thoughts, sleeplessness, irritability, or moments of panic they can’t explain.
What they want most is relief—and space. Space to breathe, to not have to be “on,” and to be honest about what they’re feeling.

If you are reading this, you're probably experiencing significant pain. Perhaps you're facing a break-up, or you realize your new partner is very much like the previous one. You may be scared, uncertain of the next step. Perhaps you are single, asking what it might take to find the right partner, or you may feel stuck in your marriage. You'll come in, plop yourself down, and ask me to fix you. I'll say: "I cannot do that." "All right," you say, "then, what is the point?" I'll respond: "I can help you be curious."

Welcome to River Bluff Mental Health! Accepting new clients with appointments available in the same week. Experiencing anxiety and OCD symptoms can be distressing and sometimes even debilitating. I have lived experience with OCD and anxiety, so I can relate to you and what you are experiencing.

I have also completed ERP myself, so I can sympathize with some of the challenges you might or have experienced. This is why I started my private practice, in hopes to help and encourage as many people as I can.

The foundation of growth begins within the relationship between individual and therapist. The desire to feel seen, heard, and understood is universal and is an essential part of our overall well-being. I celebrate the courage of individuals who take steps into healing by engaging in the therapeutic process to manifest the life they desire. I am passionate about working together to ensure that you become an expert on yourself and believe in your own insight, strength, and self awareness. I believe that humor and laughter bring out our authentic selves and utilize this philosophy in my work.

My therapy style is engaged and proactive. Clients repeatedly tell me they feel safe and accepted in therapy to explore their issues, whatever they happen to be. I ask questions and make frequent observations to help clients (1) increase self-awareness and become more comfortable with themselves and their feelings, (2) to make better choices, (3) toward greater satisfaction in their lives and relationships. My unique history helps me understand and relate to the many struggles clients face, without judgment. I offer many helpful tools and insights on my website (see my contact info).
