Meet Maddi
As a therapist I am interested in the ways therapy can be used as a tool for transformative change for individuals and communities. I view talk therapy as one of many tools people can use to pursue healing and connectedness, and am interested in other such tools, including: music, movement, plants and nature, ritual, art, food, community, connection to ancestors, spirituality, magic, and justice work. I hold a Master of Social Work, and have a background in gender and sexuality studies and visual art.
My approach to therapy is largely relational and psychodynamic. I center the relationship between therapist and client, and bring warmth, thoughtfulness, curiosity, humility, and laughter. I work to offer insights about patterns in your life and to join you in exploring the roots these patterns stem from. It is my aim for us to collaboratively create a space where you feel seen and held as we work toward a vision of wholeness you have for yourself.
I am a white, queer, non-binary person (they/them) who thinks a lot about the pervasive effects that the systems we live under have on our own internal worlds and relational structures. I am attendant to the powerful ways in which our identities shape our life experiences and dictate how we move through the world, and I am interested in exploring how power dynamics connected to our identities show up in the therapeutic space and inform the work.
