MEET OUR INTERN

Hi, I'm Madeline. 

For as long as I can remember, I have been captivated by hearing the stories of others — whether from people who inspire me, like Dolly Parton, insightful documentary interviews, or individuals who have overcome tremendous adversity. I became fascinated as I noticed the unique opportunity that sharing one’s experiences created to strengthen human connection, foster understanding, and cultivate empathy. This curiosity and desire to understand and support others led me to study psychology, earning my BA from the University of Kansas in 2024 and eventually, towards counseling.

As a therapist in training, I feel that I am constantly learning, growing, and becoming aware of new tools and strategies that I want to share with my clients. I resonate with person-centered therapy, CBT, ACT, and positive psychology. I enjoy collaborating with each of my clients to uncover their unique strengths, find adaptive coping skills that work for them, and incorporate fun into the little things so that our work feels engaging. I also enjoy bringing my strengths of authenticity, honesty, humor, and compassion into my work as a clinician, and aim to create a space where each client feels comfortable, safe, supported, and able to be themselves. 

Outside of the therapy space, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our dog, French Fry, watching reality TV, shopping on Etsy, crafting, and cheering on KU football and basketball.
