Find a therapist in Utah — covered by insurance

When contemplating “resiliency,” I am reminded of the wisdom shared by Thich Nhat Hanh in his quote, “No Mud, No Lotus.” This succinctly encapsulates life’s challenges and the accompanying suffering. While we often yearn for happiness devoid of difficulties, I firmly believe that these struggles are indispensable for our overall well-being, akin to the lotus requiring mud to flourish.

My role involves helping clients recognize their potential to bloom into something remarkable, even amidst adversity when the path seems obscured. Through the integration of mindfulness, self-compassion, and trauma-informed methodologies, I facilitate a journey where clients unearth their inherent strengths and resilience, fostering transformative growth from within.

Specialized Trauma Recovery • DOT-Qualified SAP • Action-Oriented Therapy

I believe therapy should be a dynamic, collaborative process that yields real-world results. My practice is built on a foundation of academic excellence and specialized training, including a BA in Psychology from University of Southern California and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Utah.

In addition to my clinical work, I am a qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) for the Department of Transportation (DOT), specializing in safety-sensitive evaluations and regulatory compliance.

My Therapeutic Toolkit: Evidence-Based & Proactive

I don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach. I blend several powerful, evidence-based modalities to help you achieve your goals quickly and effectively:

• ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy): A specialized approach for trauma and PTSD that uses eye movements to "reprogram" distressing memories and sensations, often providing relief in just a few sessions.
• CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): We will work together to identify and shift the thought patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of anxiety or depression.
• DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): I provide practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships—giving you a "manual" for navigating life's hardest moments.

I strive to help individuals who have been plagued by past or current trauma. I am here to empower within and help my clients uncover who they truly are. My goal is to connect with your potential, find wellness, and create meaning. Finding a therapist who empathizes yet pushes you is never easy. My gentle approach will aid clients in understanding their maladaptive thought patterns and challenging the narrative that has kept them stuck for so long.

I help people get unstuck. I help people clarify what they want, help them gain or re-gain perspective, identify what is working and what is not while providing them options for how they want to proceed.

I am a strengths-based therapist that supports and notices growth of clients.

I challenge clients when needed and can be as direct as needed.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner doctorally trained at the University of Utah, with eight years of mental healthcare experience including a year-long fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry.

I primarily work with children and teens, but also love meeting with young adults, parents, and fellow healthcare workers.

Outside of work, I love spending time in the mountains with my husband, son and very hyper dog.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Pennsylvania Western University in 2023, and I've spent my career working with people across private practice, outpatient settings, and residential programs for mental health and addiction. That range matters... it means I've sat with people at many different points in their journey, and I know that healing doesn't look the same for everyone. I specialize in helping adults like you work through anxiety, depression, borderline personality traits, and dissociative experiences. And I bring something beyond my training to this work: I'm in recovery myself, and I'm a parent of an LGBTQ+ child. Those experiences mean I'll never show up with judgment — only with understanding of what it actually feels like to face something hard.

I am a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over two decades of experience across a wide range of therapeutic settings, including family, adolescent, individual, group, adult, outpatient, residential, and day programs. I help clients enhance their quality of life by using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience helping people navigate life's "weird left turns," from the mental game of competitive sports to the heavy landscape of grief, trauma, or a cancer diagnosis. I'm also a wife and mom who spent over a decade working in the foster care system before transitioning to the medical field and clinical work, so I understand the "everyday chaos" of being human. I've often been told I bring a unique blend of humor and compassion to the room. Whether you're a high-performer, a caregiver facing burnout, or a parents of a "tornado of feelings," I'm here to help you stop playing emotional whack-a-mole and start feeling like yourself again.

Hi, I'm Madi! I have a masters in Social Work from Utah State. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am trained in EMDR and IFS Level 1. They are my main modalities that I use every session.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 26 years of experience taking a holistic approach to healing - helping people move forward in alignment with their deepest knowing and truest self-expression. I believe real healing creates sustainable change and brings more ease and joy to your life.

Besides client session, I also provide clinical supervision to students and prelicensed therapists, and mentoring/consulting to licensed therapists.

I offer in-person services in Eugene, Oregon and telehealth in Oregon, New Mexico, and Utah, and specialize in working with complex trauma, neurodivergent folks, highly sensitive people, LGBTQ+ clients, and anyone seeking to live with more freedom and alignment.
