Brrr..have the winter blues brought you here? Well hello, my name is Madeline. Welcome to my safe and inviting space to work on brining peace into your life. I am a Licensed Clinical Master Social Worker in Michigan. I strive to provide compassionate care to those with ranging needs in the overwhelming and discouraging seasons of life. For 6 years I have supported children, adolescents, adults and older adults with individual and family needs in the school, home and community setting. I encourage you to focus on critical needs that impact the problem behaviors in your daily life that keep you from living your best life. Stay tuned and warm up to my holistic approach designed to nurture your specific needs.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with introducing who we are and what our expectations of therapy are. I ask questions to better understand your unique story, and welcome you to ask questions you have. We will further focus on specific challenges and formulate a plan to work through in follow up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My focus is to engage creatively and provide a safe space to feel heard, learn and grow. I provide nurturing, guided support that carries on into many elements of life. I am flexible, open minded and have empathy for every person I encounter.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Mind-body approach
I have witnessed natural progress and positive changes happen in peoples lives with the theraputic mind-body approach. Slight additions or sublimations within our routine can change the course of how we accept and perceive the stressors of the world or within ourselves. Utilized through art, dance, mindfulness, meditation, music, yoga, and breath work.
Play Therapy
I have worked with children for 8 years and I have found that the freedom to play supports the basic needs of those children to feel safe and secure in a therapeutic environment. This approach supports children expressing their emotions, feelings, and experiences. It also provides a solid foundation for teaching, learning and growing.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I have utilized this method for 4 years to support clients priorities in treatment. Many clients find the solutions are within reach and appropriate to facilitate their current issue.
Strength-Based
I have had the honor of supporting clients whom are in the seasons of life, navigating their way. Utilizing adapted strengths was their most successful work in progressing toward positive change.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I have been focused on trauma work from the beginning of my education, further into my career, to better understand the populations I serve. I approach behavioral therapy with a trauma-lense to provide clients an empathetic space for appropriate treatment.
