Hi, I’m Madeline. I’ve practiced within the social work field for 10 years, working in elementary schools with children and their families and community mental health with children and adults. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker focusing primarily on adolescents and adults to address anxiety, depression, relationship problems, traumatic events, problematic alcohol and substance use, emotion regulation and life changes. I believe in the DBT assumption that individuals are doing the best they can with the tools they have, and that they want to improve. My therapeutic style is warm and validating, while challenging the individual that they are capable of change to accomplish the goals they have. My work is rooted in trauma-informed care and resilience-building practices that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Matrix Curriculum, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Exposure Response Prevention. I have also experienced and witnessed so many benefits to relying on a higher power within difficult times, which often translates into speaking about Christianity. So much serenity can be gained in having a relationship with God. When the individual is open to it, I incorporate shared faith into therapy sessions. I hold a Bachelor of Social Work, a Master of Social Work, and a Master of Science in Disaster Resilience Leadership, which uniquely equips me to support individuals through both personal and community-level crises. In my spare time, you can find me at the beach, going on walks or runs with my dog Lucy, kayaking, going to church, attending community events, or spending time with my family.
