She is currently a PhD student at Ball State University in the Counseling Psychology department. Over the course of her career, Madison has worked in diverse clinical settings, including community mental health clinics, private practice, and domestic violence shelters. In addition to her clinical work, Madison engages in research focused on weight-related issues and social justice, with particular interest in how societal attitudes toward body size impact mental health and well-being. Outside of her professional roles, Madison enjoys strength training, playing golf, and attending live music events. She shares her home with three cats—Oliver, Chloe, and Tolouse—who keep life playful.
She has experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples across a wide range of clinical issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, identity development, relational distress, and life transitions.
Madison’s work is grounded in the belief that healing occurs through authentic connection, empowerment, and collaborative exploration. Madison brings warmth and authenticity to her work, often using humor as a tool to foster connection, ease vulnerability, and support emotional processing. Her therapeutic style is collaborative, culturally responsive, and informed by trauma-sensitive practices. She strives to create a space where clients feel deeply seen and supported.
