Hello, I'm Madison! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I’m passionate about helping people find clarity and healing during life’s challenges. I have extensive experience working with young adults and individuals going through major changes, including breakups, grief, and loss. I also support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma. My approach is caring and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel safe, supportive, and centered around your goals. I am trained in evidence-based methods to help you process difficult experiences and learn practical tools to feel more balanced and confident. I am also working toward certification to better support new and expecting individuals or parents. If you’d like to learn more, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute phone consultation.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor serving individuals across Texas via telehealth, and I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted—exactly as you are. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or emotionally exhausted, often carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety/depression, or grief. You might feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or weighed down by past experiences that still show up in the present. My role is to help you make sense of those experiences and move forward in a way that feels safe, supportive, and empowering. My approach is accepting, collaborative, and deeply empathic. Clients often share that they feel truly understood in our sessions—without judgment or pressure. I use EMDR alongside talk therapy to help process painful memories, so they hold less power over your day-to-day life. Together, we work toward making the weight of your past feel lighter. I was drawn to mental health work because I truly enjoy helping people reconnect with their strength. What continues to motivate my work is witnessing those moments when clients realize they don’t have to carry everything alone. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with understanding & empathy, I’d be honored to support you on your journey.

College can be an exciting but challenging time filled with new pressures, uncertainty, and transitions. Many students face anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or questions about their future that can feel overwhelming. Balancing academics, social life, and personal growth often feels like a heavy load to carry alone. I’m here to support you through these challenges with a holistic, whole-person approach that considers your mind, body, and overall well-being. Using evidence-based practices like CBT and Reality Therapy, we’ll work together to identify stressors, develop practical coping strategies, and build resilience. My goal is to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can explore your experiences honestly and create meaningful, lasting change tailored to your unique college journey. Whether you’re managing stress, navigating life transitions, or seeking clarity and balance, I’m here to walk alongside you as you thrive during this important chapter of your life.

*EMDR Trained // PMH-C // NOW OFFERING THERAPY INTENSIVES* Why did Waldo go to therapy? *TO FIND HIMSELF* 😊 Are you in a place where you are tired of hiding, blending in, or trying to keep up with…you know who? So many of us spend more time trying to be accepted by others that we forget to accept ourselves. Life is overwhelming regardless of what stage of life we are in. Come in and let's chat. Let's chat about: your relationship with your partner that is absolutely NOT what you dreamed of, how your parents ruined your childhood, your kid that is being targeted by a &@%$ at school, or maybe your kid is the @$%& at school. Whatever it is that is weighing you down, come in, and let's find YOU! Let me help, that's what I do, I simply help. I provide a safe place to discuss those hard feelings of shame, failure, and guilt. Let's add some connection, compassion, and empathy into your life; regardless of your stage of life. Your inner critic is the first place we will start in your healing journey; as healing will always begin with HOPE.

"I feel broken and I'm pissed about it." You were independent, high achieving, organized. Then you got the medical diagnosis, and everything changed. If you have been through a stressful or traumatic medical illness, you know firsthand the challenges of building a care team that you trust and coming into a new relationship with your body. My role is to partner with you as you face these challenges. If you are caregiving for individuals as they move through physical changes, it can be difficult to find balance. I can help you find your footing as you navigate caring for self and other, face difficult medical decisions, or move through anticipatory grief in the context of potentially complex relationship dynamics. "I just want to get back to normal." "What does it even mean to 'live with' this? How can they say that?" "This is happening on top of everything else! I don't have time to slow down, I'm in pain, and I can't sleep." "I had trauma before. This just makes dealing with it harder." These thoughts and reactions are not uncommon. Individualized, trauma-informed psychotherapy can help. To learn more, please reach out for a free phone consultation. I am happy to address any questions or concerns you may have prior to initiating therapy, and I look forward to meeting you soon.
