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

I am also a normal human who does a better job of talking and moving than of sitting still. I do actually rest sometimes, like when I go to the springs here in North Florida or am reading a book.

I work with anxious people because I deeply understand and care about them. I have a personal history of anxiety 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 and somatic trainings are listed below, but the most foundational ones have been Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and generative somatics. I feel very lucky to have many mentors and teachers in this field to whom I owe my hope in this work to.

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.
