Do you seem to be caught in a cycle of constant conflict over the same issues? Do you live with a sense of isolation from your partner? Do you struggle with anger, anxiety, sadness/grief, or insecurity? I work with individuals and couples in gaining control over the emotional reactiveness that seems to derail our best efforts at life and relationships. Through a Process Experiential and Emotionally Focused Therapy approach I help individuals and couples to gain insight and reorganize their experiences in order to create new patterns of dealing with the challenges they face in relationships and in life.

Relationships shape so much of our well-being, and many people come to therapy longing for a deeper connection with themselves, their partners, their families, or the world around them, but aren’t sure where to start.
I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma, attachment wounds, relationship challenges, and OCD subtypes. Do you struggle with overthinking, intrusive thoughts, worst-case scenario fears, people-pleasing, or feeling stuck in patterns you can’t break? Together, we identify what’s driving them and build skills to respond differently.

There are places where the air feels heavy, where silence carries fear, and each step feels like walking on glass. Every word is carefully weighed and measured. You learn to shrink yourself, listening for danger in each moment. Then... there are places where you can finally breathe. The soul finds rest, the body unclenches, and the heart remembers it is safe to open. Rather than merely surviving the day—you are restored by it. At Casa Hogar, Madeline helps you feel the difference between living in your body as a "house"—a place of mere shelter—and living in it as a "home", where self-talk is kind, grounding, and restorative.

Men and women are different, and guys have very specific counseling needs. A lot of men cringe at the thought of counseling, and understandably so. My goal is to show the guy who hates the idea of counseling how helpful it can be and that masculinity isn't inherently negative. Being a man is a good thing and being a good man is even better. My PhD research was on help-seeking behavior in men. I know that making that first phone call seems terrifying, but you owe it to yourself to give this a shot. You owe it to yourself to be well.

Family Therapy Therapists
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
