She listens nonjudgmentally and helps her clients to develop self-compassion and self-understanding. Her clients also feel a sense of safety in her direct approach. Clients reflect to Madison that she creates an environment that supports vulnerable engagement which promotes meaningful change.

Madison is passionate about supporting adults and youth who are facing challenges related to recent or past trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges (family, romantic, friendship, and work) and caregiver support. Her approach to therapy is relationship-centred and trauma-focused. She is trained in many evidence-based modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). She combines these modalities to meet her clients’ needs.
