Are you tired of feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or shut down in relationships—and no matter how hard you try, the same patterns keep repeating? Therapy can help you understand cycles and finally feel more steady, secure, and like yourself again.

You might be feeling like…

• You overthink everything in your relationships—texts, tone, distance
• You feel anxious when someone pulls away, but overwhelmed when they get too close
• You keep ending up in the same patterns, no matter how hard you try
• You shut down or withdraw during conflict
• You feel like you’re “too much” or “not enough”
• You want connection, but something always feels off

Early Attachment Trauma
Early Attachment Trauma

Early attachment trauma (EAT) occurs when we are very small and our caregivers are unavailable, inconsistent, frightening or unsafe. Our first relationships with caregivers become the default for how we show up in adult relationships.

Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety and Depression

If you are feeling anxious or depressed, it’s not because you’re weak, but because something has pushed you passed your level of tolerance. Sometimes it can feel hard asking for help because it means we have to admit that there is a problem.

Grief and Loss
Grief and Loss

Grief and loss are non-linear processes. Sometimes we might feel overcome with emotion and other times we might feel nothing at all. There could be confusion, anger, acceptance…

  • Human

    Madeline is an artist, athlete, and mother (1 human baby and 1 fur baby). In her free time she can be found romping around the trails, climbing in the desert, and creating colourful wearables. She loves living in a space between the ocean and the mountains.

    She believes that life is messy and we should celebrate all the parts that make us uniquely us. She celebrates the feelers, makers, movers, and illogical spirits.

About Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Madeline briefly discusses the IFS framework and how it can help you access your authentic you.
