Hi, I’m Madeline (she/her), and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and affirming environment. I love what I do, and I feel honored to do this work. When I’m not working, I enjoy dancing, nature walks, playing with my two cats, Laszlo and Loaf, baking, yoga, and reading.
My work supports people in finding connection. Connection to themself, to their body, and to their community, working in harmony while awakening the inner wisdom that supports healing and growth. I draw from my background in dance, performance, yoga, and somatic practices, attuning to the relationship between the body’s sensations, emotions, and the narratives that shape experience.
In my experience working with pre-teens, adolescents, and adults in schools, hospitals, and community mental health clinics, I have found the struggles people encounter are often entangled with systemic inequalities and the environments they have had to move through. I am continually committed to paying close attention to the broader contexts of a person’s life, including the cultural, familial, political, and structural forces that shape how we learn to survive, cope, and make meaning. I consider how our respective backgrounds and positionalities shape the therapeutic space, and I strive to cultivate a collaborative environment where your insight can fully emerge. Holding this awareness helps deepen our work together, offering a more compassionate and expansive understanding of challenges, strengths, and possibilities for healing.
My approach
I work from a place of attunement and curiosity, creating space for you to settle into your body and meet whatever arises with gentleness.
I honor and deeply respect your lived experience, trusting that within you lies an innate understanding of what truly serves you. My role is to support the gentle uncovering of that innate understanding, which is often hidden beneath years of old patterns, wounds, or limiting beliefs.
By bringing awareness to physical sensations and emotional responses, we explore your experiences in a way that cultivates clarity and meaningful growth.
