Hi, my name is Maddy! I am a dedicated therapist who quickly learned to love helping clients of all ages/backgrounds feel comfortable in the therapeutic process. As I know therapy can be intimidating, and confusing to some people I pride myself on making my clients feel comfortable every step of the way. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and stress related symptoms through the use of CBT, motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques as well as many others. I always tell my clients that we work as a team, and learn together as we go.

Currently accepting new clients :) I focus on treating early adolescents and young adults struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, and ADHD issues. I am especially experienced working with middle schoolers who are having difficulties navigating their family and peer relationships as well as mood swings and emotional regulation challenges. By helping my clients identify what is (and is not) in their control and looking within themselves to see what strengths they didn't know they have, I believe that anyone—no matter their age or background—can achieve their goals.

As a therapist, I work with children, adults, couples, and families as they navigate various life transitions. This can include reorganization within the family system, through either a new marriage, a separation or divorce, birth of a new family member, the exploration of alternative family building options, or various other life events. Our lives are constantly in flux, and we all sometimes need support to navigate these decision points and learn to better manage the anxiety they create.

I believe this can be the start of your journey to finding hope, wellness, self-empowerment, and joy. I will strive to meet you with compassion, affirmation, and understanding no matter what identities, experiences, and values you hold. I will always seek to support you and to best meet your individual needs in the present moment. If you’re struggling with perfectionism, people-pleasing, anxiety, high sensitivity, relationships, communication, or life transitions, together we can start to work through whatever you’re feeling and discover what’s going on under the surface.

Are you looking to initiate a major life change but keep getting in your own way of doing so? Or, has a major life change been thrust upon you and you’re having trouble adjusting? Do you struggle to believe that you ARE capable of finding the light through the dark road you're traveling? If so, I truly get it. I can professionally and personally attest to the challenges AND triumphs of getting through big life transitions. While I wish I could get rid of all difficult emotions and experiences you're facing, my goal is to help you move through them more effectively. You deserve to live in a better way and "better" IS possible.

I mainly see teens and young adults with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. I also see adults with transitional life stressors, as well as adults who wish to enhance their work or interpersonal effectiveness with life coaching. I currently work at the Hopkins School of Medicine/Kennedy Krieger Institute and I have also trained at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Sports Concussion Institute in LA, as well as Syracuse VA Medical Center in Syracuse, NY.
