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.

How can you provide care remotely?
Therapy that fits into your busy schedule! Get online therapy support from anywhere in California. All you need is a device that can connect to the internet and a private location where you feel comfortable talking. This can be a car (as long as it’s parked), your house, office, outside, or anywhere that is safe and allows you privacy. The best part? You save time by not having to drive back and forth to the office, and you don’t have to wait in an awkward lobby with a bunch of other people. Some clients have shared that they love having the flexibility to schedule therapy appointments during their lunch break at work, or during their break between classes at school. This way, they don't have to take time off from work or try to squeeze in another to-do item in the busy evening hours. If you're not sure about online therapy, reach out to me so we can chat and see if I'd be a good fit for you.
What's your experience with clients with stress?
Are you feeling stressed out? Sometimes we're stressed and we don't even realize it because it can show up in so many different ways such as headaches, stomach aches, acne, difficulty sleeping, feeling tired, difficulty focusing, lack of motivation, and so many others! I help clients identify their stressors and how they're impacting their life, so we can come up with solutions and strategies together to help manage them. For some of us, we tend to take on too many things and it's a matter of finding ways to balance tasks or remove tasks to help reduce stress. For others, it's about setting boundaries, identifying and communicating our needs, and incorporating more self-care into the routine. Every person is different as what stresses me out can be completely different than what stresses you out. Through therapy we will work together to find an approach that works specifically for you. Let's reduce that feeling of stress and overwhelm, so you can get back to actually enjoying your life. If you have more questions, reach out to me today to schedule your free consultation.
