I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist passionate in helping women live with confidence in their life, relationships, and bodies. My therapeutic approach blends science, systemic, and holistic mind/body approaches. I adapt my approach and modalities to each client I work with. My goal is to empower and guide along the journey towards a healthier and stronger version of yourself.

Immediate openings (virtual and in-person therapy)! We invite women & families of all kinds and sizes as we partner with you in growth + healing. Providers are VMHC are uniquely specialized to empower individuals seeking support for anxiety, sexuality, self-identity and self-acceptance, a traumatic childhood or event, perfectionism and burn-out, parenting stress, heartache associated with infertility, pregnancy complications/loss, impact of birth trauma, or postpartum challenges, autism, ADHD, and/or depression. Let's connect!

I work with individuals and couples experiencing issues related to sex, traditional gender roles, desire, grief, and self image to support you in building the life you want. Couples/partners may struggle with communication related to sex, desire discrepancy, or unhelpful relationship dynamics. Individuals may wish to explore their sexual identity, process grief and loss, unpack past traumas or family patterns that cause distress in present relationships, create new expressions of masculinity or femininity, or learn how to prioritize pleasure.

Note: Currently accepting clients ages birth - 4 & adults (in-person). I work with adults and young children using a warm, collaborative approach. My adult specialties include perinatal mental health, childhood trauma, anxiety & depression, parenting transitions, and parent-infant bonding challenges. I also value working with single and LGBTQ+ parents. Together we can explore your past experiences, relationships, & patterns within a secure therapeutic relationship to foster growth. I honor clients’ diverse identities and recognize that many internal struggles are reflective of systemic, sociopolitical issues.

I am passionate about working with pre-teens, teens, and young adults to support their emotional well-being and healthy relationships. As someone with extensive experience working with children, and having children of my own, I am also passionate about supporting parents in the many ups and downs of parenting, and supporting mothers in the tender post-partum months and years. My areas of interest include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, life transitions, parenting, and relationship concerns.

We all have times when we run out of ideas about how to deal with problems in our lives. It can help to involve a new set of eyes and ears to see things from a different angle. We work to gain new skills and insights, and tap into our forgotten strengths, to create independence and lasting positive change. We look at the rigid and unhelpful patterns we have, and work together to form new ways of thinking and doing. While this process unfolds you are free to be your authentic self, without feeling judgment, powerlessness, or shame, in a safe and trusting atmosphere.

Therapy, like life, happens in the context of relationships. Our first task will be to form our own. During this time I’ll hear from you about what’s going well in your life as well as what is feeling difficult or overwhelming. Our work can take several forms, but in all of them I value connection, humor, and authenticity.

Welcome! Being human is a beautiful and vulnerable experience that doesn't always have directions or clear answers. You may be here because you feel struck in patterns that are holding you back or feel overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed in your daily life. You may be seeking help because you feel stuck in your relationship(s) or want to feel more free in your sexuality or sexual identity and are unsure how to proceed. And if you are a highly sensitive and/or nuero-diverse person, the world can feel complicated! If you are longing to live authentically and experience meaningful relationships, you've come to the right place!

Welcome! I'm Madilyn and I specialize in supporting individuals in their 20s and early 30s who are navigating anxiety and depression. Life at this stage can feel overwhelming, especially when faced with challenges related to relationships, career choices, identity exploration, and the many uncertainties of the world today. I understand the complexities of these experiences and offer a warm, open, and non-judgmental space for you to explore them.
