What Therapy With me Looks Like
Born and raised outside of London in the United Kingdom, I moved to the US in 2018. Before pursuing a career as a psychotherapist, I worked as a brand strategist in New York, San Diego, London and Spain. I now live in South Lake Tahoe with my husband, dog and cat.
I hold a BA in History from the University of Oxford, an MA in Public Policy from King’s College London, and an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of San Diego. During my clinical training, I specialized in providing crisis intervention counseling for people impacted by sexual trauma and interpersonal violence; I am a California Certified Sexual Assault Counselor.
I am the co-founder of Wellness With Maddie and Maddie, which creates and delivers workplace wellness programs for organizations of all types.
My Background
You are welcome here.
I am committed to creating an inclusive environment which affirms your unique identity (and it’s intersections), including race, color, nationality, gender expression and identity, sexual orientation, cultural and socioeconomic background, neurodivergence, and disability. As a member of Bay Area Open Minds, I believe that sexual, relational and gender diversity are natural expressions of the human experience. As a therapist, I draw on feminist, antiracist, disability rights and postmodern frameworks to understand how structural forces of power and oppression impact collective and individual mental health.
Work With Me
Individual Therapy
Therapy for adults, adolescents and preteens, in person at my office or outside “walk+talk” sessions, or via secure telehealth platform. While I do not accept insurance at this time, I can provide you with a superbill to facilitate reimbursement if your provider offers out-of-network benefits. I also offer some sliding scale availability, on a case-by-case basis.
Couples Therapy
Therapy for couples, including marriage and relationship therapy, premarital counseling, and coaching for colleagues and cofounders.
