I believe that every client is the expert on their own life, and should thus be treated with respect and as an equal partner in the therapeutic relationship. I strive to maintain a fully non-judgmental and empathetic approach. I believe every client has all the tools they need to overcome their challenges. As a therapist, it’s my greatest honor to walk alongside you as we learn and grow together.

A Quick Trip to 2005
My story as a therapist actually begins in the early aughts. When I was in the second grade, I learned what a therapist was. I was so taken with this idea that I immediately set up shop in my bedroom, printed actual business cards with the help of my father, and proceeded to pass these around to my classmates.
I actually got clients, too. Granted, I hadn’t yet learned the concept of a dual-relationship, or HIPAA requirements, so this wasn’t my most ethical venture. But that year, I solidified something important:
My sole purpose on this Earth is to help people. To witness people’s souls, their hearts, their dreams, and their sorrows.
What was clear to me as a child couldn’t be any truer to me now. This is my lifelong passion, and my greatest honor.
P.S. I still have some of the original business cards in my office. Ask to see them sometime.
Madeleine’s Style in Session
Every client is unique in their needs and the therapeutic approach that works best for them. As eclectic therapists, we pull from several different modalities for talk therapy, feel free to read about them below!
Upon meeting with you, we can tailor the approach that best fits your needs during our sessions.

Originally created by Carl Rogers, PCT posits that you (the client) are the expert on your own life. Therapists using this modality are merely a compassionate guide alongside you, free of judgment.

“EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.
EMDR therapy demonstrates that a similar sequence of events occurs with mental processes. The brain’s information processing system naturally moves toward mental health.
Using the detailed protocols and procedures learned in EMDR therapy training sessions, clinicians help clients activate their natural healing processes.”

Sort of like the movie “Inside Out”, IFS claims that we all have different parts that have evolved to protect us, and engage with each other and the world around us on a daily basis. Identifying and unburdening is the name of the game!
-
Much like it sounds, this therapy modality combines a basis of understanding of queer history and intersectionality to serve the LGBTQIA+ community with empathy and compassion.
-
Feminist theory can be employed by people of all genders. It focuses on the challenges people face due to societal, cultural, and political factors, such as bias, discrimination, oppression, and stereotyping. Empowerment and education are key.

As someone with ADHD, I am notorious for diving headfirst into new hobbies and often abandoning them shortly after. At the moment, I’m doing modeling gigs on the side, as well as learning how to do handpoke tattoos! Ask me again next month, though.
