CLINICAL WORK

Current Clinical Practice

Madeline currently conducts psychotherapy and psychological assessment with Bull City Behavioral Health where she works with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. She prioritizes a trauma-informed, person-centered, and (when possible) family-systems approach to clinical care. Her particular areas of clinical interest include traumatic stress exposure, anxiety & mood disorders, self-injurious behaviors, emotion dysregulation, and identity development including exploration of sexuality and gender identity.

Madeline’s clinical approach is warm & authentic, and she treats each client in front of her as unique & capable. Her clinical care is grounded in evidence-based principles, leaning heavily on a blend of third-wave cognitive behavioral (e.g., CBT, DBT, ACT) and trauma-informed (polyvagal theory, tfCBT) modalities.

Madeline is passionate about mental health equity and practices personally and professionally from a politics of care. With that, her clinical practice is rooted in principles of anti-oppression and understanding each individual client within the context of the multi-faceted and dynamic systems (familial, multicultural, & structural) in which they are embedded.
