Madison was inspired to become a therapist by her grandmother, who loved her career so much that she continued providing therapy until she passed away at 83 years old. Grounded in the Narrative Therapy stance that “the person is not the problem, the problem is the problem,” Madison provides a safe, supportive space in which people are empowered to explore and re-define the narratives or beliefs that limit their lives. She honors that each person is the expert of their own life while acknowledging the impact that society and larger systems have on individuals. Madison thrives when working collaboratively and creatively, integrating expressive arts and mindfulness practices into her approach when appropriate. While Madison enjoys working with all people, she has a particular interest in supporting those who have been touched by trauma, grief, neurodivergence, and chronic illness. Madison holds a B.A. in Clinical Psychology and a minor in Studio Art from Tufts University and a Master of Social Work from Boston College.
