Welcome to Shadow and Sun Counseling

Hi, I’m Maddi. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (#83897) and the founder of Shadow and Sun Counseling.

I believe therapy is a sacred space where growth happens, challenges are met, and healing begins. Because your story is unique, our work together will be, too. As a natural empath, my goal is to meet you exactly where you are today and help you navigate toward the life you want and deserve.

How I Can Help

I work with individuals navigating the "shadows" of life, as well as those looking to step into the "sun" of personal growth. I specialize in helping clients with:

• Trauma & PTSD (using specialized EMDR techniques)

• Anxiety, Depression, & Mood Swings

• Self-Esteem & Identity Exploration

• Deep Self-Discovery (helping you find your most authentic self)

My Approach

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model. I blend evidence-based techniques to fit your specific needs, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Person-Centered therapy, Gestalt, Solution-Focused strategies, and DBT skills.

Why I Do This

I know firsthand that life is a beautiful, messy mix of struggles and triumphs. I believe so deeply in the power of this process because I’ve done the work from both chairs. I’ve had my own journey in therapy, navigating the highs and lows just like you. Because I know what it’s like to sit in the "client chair," I am committed to providing the same safe, non-judgmental space that I value in my own healing. I’m right there in the trenches of growth with you.

The "Fine Print" (Bio)

• Education: B.S. in Health (University of Houston); M.Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with honors (Lamar University).

• Outside the Office: I’m a proud wife and mother to three daughters. In my free time, I’m usually planning our next Disney trip, watching movies, or baking sweet treats in the kitchen!
