In person in Austin, Online across Texas

Compassionate, affirming therapy— at your pace.

Life has so many moving parts, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

Add in chronic illness, disability, neurodivergence, systemic oppression, or a trauma history, and it might just start to feel impossible.

You want to feel connected and happy, but…

  • You’re overwhelmed with the demands of everyday life and the needs of the people around you.

  • The things that used to work for you don’t work anymore.

  • You know you want change, but that change feels unsafe or out of reach.

  • It’s time to stop putting everyone else ahead of yourself—but you don’t know where to start.

Hi, I’m Maddie. I want to help you get more out of life.

I know how hard it is to care for yourself when it feels like you spend all your energy just surviving. I’ve been there. Some days, I’m still there.

Therapy can be a place to learn new ways of interacting with the world—and with yourself—that result in a more joyful existence, more fulfilling relationships, and more compassion for your body and mind, even on the hard days.
