Welcome to your healing journey! I've been a Transpersonal Psychotherapist for over 15 years offering mental, emotional and spiritual guidance. I help you heal your relationship to your self through self-trust, self-love and self-acceptance. My approach is shown to improve anxiety, depression, relationships & the lasting effects of trauma. Some of the methods I utilize include meditation, guided visualization, hypnotherapy, dream work, expressive arts, journaling, movement & breathwork.
I believe in going beyond the belief that all we can do is manage trauma and symptoms forever. I believe our mind, body, and spirit already has the power to overcome it, we just have to learn how to tap into it and put it to use
I'm Madelyn, and I accept Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Anthem Blue Cross, and other plans. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and relational stress, with a focus on complex family dynamics. I support high-achieving professionals and college students navigating guilt, grief, or confusion that can arise when setting boundaries or creating distance from emotionally harmful loved ones. I help clients process their feelings and relationship decisions while exploring what feels healthiest and most empowering for them.
Carolyn is driven by a vision to create a kinder humanity—one nervous system at a time. She believes therapy provides a space to explore safety in an uncertain world by fostering awareness of the connection between the heart, intuition, and the nervous system. Carolyn understands that while the nervous system doesn’t lie- judgments, perceptions, and assumptions can leave individuals feeling stuck, misunderstood, or exhausted.
I earned a double Masters in Clinical Psychology and Public Administration from the University of San Francisco. I have a B.S in Kinesiology and spent over 5 years working in Exercise Science/Fitness for the YMCA of SF. I am part of the Polyvagal Equine Institute (PVEI) community-spent the last 5yrs training in equine therapy. I have over 20yrs experience teaching dance, yoga & mindfulness.
Outside of work, Carolyn nourishes her own nervous system by walking in nature, swimming, practicing yoga, horseback riding, reading, and spending quality time with her family and her partner. She is also the co-host of a podcast with her longtime best friend, where they explore current events through a clinical and social services comedic lens.
