Hi, my name is Madelyn.

I’ve been engaged with healing for as long as I can remember, and have dedicated my life to exploring this fascinating aspect of human experience.

While I used to seek healing through dancing, being alone in nature, & connecting with animals, these solitary activities only got me so far when it came to working through relational trauma. Because we are an exquisitely interdependent, relational species, deep healing occurs when we feel seen & held by a resonant, compassionate other. Therapy offers a space to witness & be witnessed in newly creative ways.

My lens is wide and inclusive, always taking into account a person’s broader sociocultural context, experiences of marginalization & privilege, and ways of relating to earth, family, spirituality and community.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Artez University of the Arts in the Netherlands in dance & choreography. Through living & working abroad as a professional dancer, I gained a palpable experience of cultural humility & invaluable perspectives on U.S. life and culture. I also reached my limits and experienced boundary transgressions, traumatic loss, and creative burnout. This experience led me to seek out somatic therapy, which helped me find my way back through the forest.
