About
Madalene
Welcome! My name is Madalene and I’m so happy to have you visit my bio. I work with clients to build self-esteem, reach goals that feel impossible, resolve trauma, and identify triggers and coping skills. I use a relational focus approach and I love to empower clients to reflect and identify the changes you want to make internally and externally. I believe that you can make the life you want when you are ready and able to start therapy.
When I’m not working with clients, I am cuddling with my dog, Achilles. I enjoy spending time with my partner and my friends, playing video games, crotcheting, bedazzling anything in my house, listening to music, watching movies, and just hanging out! I find happiness and joy in laughter, reflection, and being outside.
