About Madison
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I have been working with children, adolescents, young adults, mid age adults and families over the last 4 years who have come to me with a variety of concerns. I offer a compassionate, affirming and warmly direct approach to therapy, particularly for LGBTQ+ clients. I'm committed to creating a space where you feel seen, heard and valued. I work with a wide range of concerns and symptoms, including anxiety (including panic disorder), depression, grief, self-esteem and confidence issues, and life transitions. I also specialize in supporting clients navigating attachment issues, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and the complexity and inner-workings of family dynamics-this includes dynamics related to adoption, foster care, and family-of-origin work as well. I have extensive experience in addressing communication difficulties, addressing guilt and shame, working through codependency, caregiver stress, chronic pain, gender dysphoria, and multicultural concerns including experiences of prejudice and discrimination. My approach is grounded in connection and authenticity, with cultural responsiveness. I believe in honoring your unique identity and values, and I will work collaboratively to help you build resilience, clarity, and meaningful change at your own pace. Whether you're exploring purpose, meaning, identity, healing from past wounds, or navigating present challenges that impact your mental health, I'm here to support your journey with care and deep acknowledgment. Taking the first step towards therapy can be the hardest, I am honored to walk alongside you on the rest of your journey! Read more Show less
