About Maddy

 OFFICE & TELEHEALTH PROVIDER

NEW CUT LOCATION 

 Welcome! I am a Marriage & Family Therapy Associate with a passion for working with adolescents, adults, older adults, couples, families, and those managing chronic illness. As a graduate of the University of Louisville’s Couple and Family Therapy program, I am trained to think systemically, meaning we are just one part of a much larger whole and are deeply influenced by the world around us. Sometimes, this results in feeling stuck in cycles that no longer serve us, our relationships, or accurately reflect what we value in life. I believe that having someone come alongside you can be a transformative step out of the “stuckness” toward the life you envision for yourself.  Regardless of what you are going through, my hope is that through therapy you are able to reach deeper understanding, tap into your strengths and values, and strengthen key relationships including the one you have with yourself. My approach to therapy often starts there, and centers on building a supportive space that allows you to begin to find and thrive as your most authentic self. Our sessions together will be collaborative and honest, and your experiences and perspective will be valued every step of the way.  In our work together, I will take an integrative approach that helps cater therapy to your unique needs, identified goals, and outlook on life. I will use a variety of systems-oriented, trauma-sensitive approaches including narrative and collaborative therapies, experiential therapies including internal family systems (IFS), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and solution focused brief therapy. With couples specifically, I will utilize techniques from emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and the Gottman method. Above all else, I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is most important in reaching your goals as it fosters the comfort, safety, and reassurance needed to bravely search for a pathway forward. I hope for the opportunity to be a part of your journey forward!
