Hi, I’m Madeleine! I am credentialed as an LPC-IT, a registered art therapist, and certified in ecotherapy. My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and client-centered, as I believe that you hold your own healing power within yourself. I am intentional about providing a creative, meaningful, inclusive, comfortable space where it feels safe to express and explore all aspects of yourself. The act of creating art provides healing, grounding, and regulation. Art is a practice of mindfulness, a way to increase self-esteem and connect more deeply to yourself and others, especially when enhanced through curiosity and conversation.

Is worry, fear, or physical symptoms of anxiety holding you back? Feel like your mind is in a million places at once? Challenges with procrastination? Has substance use become a way to cope? Have you noticed it affecting your relationships?

If you are suffering from anxiety or depression, I can help you become a participant in your own change. If you've experienced grief or trauma, I offer a safe space in which to unpack it. I believe in letting you know exactly what is going on through the entire therapeutic process, so you will never be in the dark about my intentions or the direction you are going. I am especially effective at helping you deconstruct and examine your role in existing issues. We will develop practical, everyday skills to help make you a more mindful, self-aware person.

I often utilize brainspotting, art, and psychotherapy together to create self-expression and self-exploration. I meet where the individuals are at which determines what therapeutic approach we choose to make goals a success. I believe the individuals are the expert of their story and that the individuals have many strengths that will assist them in overcoming things that challenge them. I help individuals build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence during their journey.

Unlock your full potential and embrace a life of fulfillment. Authenticity and intuition form the cornerstone of my methodology and infuse every aspect of my practice. Through deep connections and transformative healing journeys, I empower clients to uncover profound insights and embark on a path of self-discovery. Fueled by an unwavering commitment to excellence, a thirst for knowledge, and a genuine desire to empower others, I am dedicated to providing unparalleled care and support for holistic mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

I work with a wide variety of ages and populations, from 3 and beyond, to make the most out of life. Life is full of ups and downs, and I'm here to help you through it all. I have experience working with addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, suicidal ideation, grief, autism, ADHD, eating disorders, and self-esteem. You are the expert of you! I'm here to help in listening without judgement and providing psychoeducation, coping skills, and resources.

I offer a unique blend of alternative therapies combining some of the newest discoveries in neuropsychology, mind-body integration and mindfulness. I do my best to work from a place of intuitive, compassionate, heart based support. Working together, we can explore your issues and uncover the root causes of your suffering using the subconscious, breath-work, mind-body awareness and many other transpersonal therapy methods. I believe therapy is the courageous process of exploring and releasing old wounds, discovering the 'greater' self and learning to make conscious choices with compassion and forgiveness.

I use a client-centered approach in therapy, where you are the expert of your life, and I am here to walk with you through life’s challenges. We will weave together your experiences from past and present during your personal journey. My integrated approach to therapy incorporates elements from traditional talk therapy, with art therapy, narrative therapy, nature-based therapy, and sand tray. I use a person-centered approach to determine with you, which modality meets your needs, and interests. I believe in forming holistic connections between mind-body-community-earth for personal growth.

You want to feel calm inside, but deep down you are experiencing a relentless cycle of internal worry. Despite presenting a composed exterior, you’re grappling with endless anxiety, feeling unable to relax without a sense of guilt, and constantly overwhelmed by the demands of daily life. However, you're ready and motivated to make positive changes. You’re eager to acquire new skills, explore your emotions, and find lasting relief from the stress and exhaustion you are experiencing. Together, we can work towards helping you achieve a sense of inner calm and relief on a daily basis.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and licensed Art Therapist who approaches counseling in a holistic standpoint, by incorporating cognitive understanding, and emotional support with the creative self. While participating in therapy does not require you to engage in the experiential arts, I do encourage self-expression to release blocked emotion within sensitive surroundings. Some of the important areas of work include building self-esteem, self-identity, and helping to overcome deficits such as anger, communication, anxiety, separation of the family unit, depression, and substance abuse counseling. Being able to recognize your individual strengths and building on them helps encourage personal empowerment!

Stories have power. They can shape the way we see the world, how we interact with others, and how we see and treat ourselves, and these can have a great impact on our physical and mental well-being.

Regardless of who I am working with, I strive to be strengths-based, trauma-informed, and resilience-focused.

I work with clients age 13+ and have experience providing individual and family therapy to clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, identity issues, relationship conflicts and difficult life transitions.
