Treatment Approaches
Madi works with children, teens, and adults, tailoring her approach to meet each client’s unique needs.
For children, she incorporates Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) to create a safe and supportive environment where play becomes the language of healing. Through this approach, children are able to process emotions, develop self-regulation skills, and build self-esteem, trust, and resilience.
With teens and adults, Madi integrates Restoration Therapy and elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the patterns of pain and coping that often influence relationships and emotional responses. Together, she works with clients to identify core emotional truths, restore a sense of safety, and develop healthier ways of connecting with themselves and others. For those who desire it, Madi is also able to incorporate a faith-based perspective into the counseling process.
Madi strives to ensure every person who walks through her door feels seen, heard, and understood. She collaborates with each client to explore the treatment approaches that best support their growth and healing. Madi has a heart for supporting young adults, postpartum moms, and families, offering a compassionate space for parents and children to grow, heal, and connect. Madi strives to walk alongside individuals as they navigate emotional challenges, difficult life transitions, and challenging family dynamics.
Education and Training
Madi holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Central Oklahoma. She is finishing her Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Dallas Baptist University. Madi has completed specialized training in Child-Centered Play Therapy (Levels 1 and 2) through the University of North Texas, as well as Level 1 training in Restoration Therapy, equipping her to offer developmentally appropriate and research-backed treatment approaches for children, teens, and adults.

Background and Experience
Before entering the counseling field, Madi dedicated her time to serving children, teens, and adults through a variety of ministry and volunteer roles, including mentorship and leadership positions. Having personally experienced the healing power of counseling during her college years, she has continued to rely on therapy to navigate life’s difficult transitions, including marriage and motherhood.

Personal Statement
I approach every individual with empathy, warmth, and genuine curiosity. I believe that each person has inherent value and a unique story. I am passionate about guiding individuals from places of pain and hopelessness toward healing, resilience, and peace.
I have been married for four years and am a parent to one young child. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new coffee shops, taking long walks, and getting lost in a good book.
