How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?

As a queer, non-binary, and neurodiverse person, I understand how it feels to navigate the normative systems in place and how powerful a dedicated, non-judgmental therapy space can be for managing emotions, exploring your inner landscape, and building up new ways of living. It's important to me to show up as an ally for my clients as they do the heavy and potentially joyful work of examining deeply-rooted patterns and rebuilding a life they feel good about. I strive to bring a warm and strengths-focused approach to all my work, and have experience supporting folks with concerns ranging from trauma to mood disorders, neurodivergence to identity exploration, and good old anxiety in hospital, university, and outpatient settings

Let's face it, adulting is hard! There's only 24 hours in a day, but we're supposed to somehow find time to keep up with work and school, do chores and household responsibilities, maintain a social life, please the family, sleep 8 hours a night, eat healthy, workout, and figure out what we want to do for the rest of our life. You may be struggling to find a balance between all the things on your plate and thinking, how am I supposed to do all of this by myself? Hi, I'm Maddi. I specialize in helping college students, young adults, and teens transition into adulthood with confidence. I'm the therapist that's easy to talk to, with a bubbly personality, and a seemingly endless supply of ideas. My approach to therapy focuses on collaborating with you so we can work together to help you find a balance and figure out this adulting stuff. Through the therapy process you will find clarity, direction, and purpose. I am a believer that no matter where you start, you'll always end up exactly where you're meant to be. So I encourage you to show up to therapy exactly as you are and we can figure out the rest together. During therapy we will talk, laugh, and maybe even cry, as we work together to help you evolve into the best version of yourself. Therapy sessions with me are aimed to make you feel as comfortable as possible. This means you can bring snacks, blankets, or fidgets, you can take breaks if needed, you can wear sweats, slippers, heels, or anything in between, you can put on music, adjust the lighting, diffuse essential oils, and sit on the floor or the couch. I know starting something new can be scary, so if you have questions or are still feeling a bit unsure, let’s talk! Reach out to schedule your free consultation today.

I’ve spent the earlier years of my life feeling lost and like I didn’t belong or just that I was so behind it was almost impossible to catch up. The way everyone else showed up in the world so seamlessly and moved about their space was fascinating to me, inspiring too - but ultimately more and more isolating. As everything continued to feel deeply off, I began to embark on a healing journey through therapy, spirituality and movement. As this journey has transformed me and my energy, it also became the way I desire to help others. The modalities I integrate with can include Internal Family Systems, Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Expressive Arts. I understand the sensitivities around life’s challenges and the profound impact it can have on our lives and my hope is that therapy will empower you for positive changes. Start your healing journey today and reach out to me via email or cell. If we are not a good fit, i'll provide you with referrals to make sure you get the help you need.
