Hey There! I’m Madison
I am first and foremost an imperfect human. I’m a wife, a mama, a daughter, a sister, a friend. I also really love creating and supporting people in moving to a place of hope.
I created Be Counseling because I am passionate about helping 20 and 30 something single adults and couples navigate the crazy world of dating and early relationship so that they can build a fulfilling partnership for years to come.
When I’m not seeing clients, you will find me outside, creating, or spending time with the people who are important to me!
ABOUT MY APPROACH
here’s the deal- therapy is about YOU,
but… here are 4 things you should know about me and my approach
1) I am not perfect, I am not a guru, I do not have it all figured out. but I really love being with people in hard times and I believe and have personally experienced the approaches I use in session (Internal Family Systems and Gottman Therapy). both have helped many humans feel lighter and more hopeful.
2) you are always welcome in therapy, I genuinely care deeply about my clients (really I do they are cool people). AND I believe my role is to help you build relationships and tools in your own life and I am doing you a disservice if I am not leading you towards that. my hope is always that you are learning how to repair and support your life and relationships in time.
3) I feel most aligned when I am supporting those in seasons I have already walked through. for this reason I work with those navigating dating and the early stages of a relationship who do not (maybe yet) have kids
4) spirituality that is inclusive and welcoming to all (how we make sense of this life we live, meaning, purpose and pain) is foundational to my work.

As a fellow human being, I know that life is not perfect.
Therapy is not about judging it is about supporting- and working together to move you to a place where you can thrive.
In sessions, I will talk to you authentically, and collaboratively.
My background is in systemic work. This means I am always thinking about the whole. I see change happening both within and around. Because of this- in our work I consider the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, in all aspects of our work.
The latest in neuroscience and the therapy world is the basis for my practice and work.
