Hi! My name is Madison, and I am a somatic psychotherapist and poet living in Gainesville, FL.

I am also a normal human who is often talking and moving instead of sitting still. I do rest, but it takes effort and a good book.

I work with anxious people because I deeply understand and care about them. I have a personal history of anxiety (I am in C-PTSD and OCD recovery) and all of the healing required to work with its gravitational force. It has led to a personal and professional passion for braiding together the most updated neuroscience with the somatic and poetic experience of the individual.

My formal education is listed below and my somatics resume can be requested. I have completed a range of trainings in the field of somatic psychology and am currently pursing a PhD in the field. I feel very lucky to have many teachers and mentors in this field to whom I owe my hope in this work to. I am also trained in I-CBT for OCD and am certified in EMDR.

For my fellow academic nerds: I am currently studying the existing research on embodied cognition and poetry as an innately somatic practice. I love to work with fellow poets and writers.
