My approach as a Couples Counselor and marriage therapist is to combine a focus on enhancing connection and closeness, in ways that are realistic and beneficial, as well as stressing behaviors that affect each partner, that may not recognize.

Madeline provides therapy to couples and families needing assistance with anxiety, panic disorders, depression, substance abuse and addiction, military issues, divorce and relationship issues. Madeline is bilingual and fluent in both English and Spanish. Madeline offers her services to residents in Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Navarre, Crestview, Mary Esther, Shalimar, and all the major cities in NorthWest Florida.

Madeline offers marriage and couples counseling in a safe and collaborative environment in which couples stuck in distressed relationships can focus on a road to recovery.  Couples and family members work through the powerful emotional dramas in which they are caught.  Couples seeking counseling are helped to identify old destructive patterns of negative interaction that cause them to feel misunderstood, defensive, and isolated.  New cycles of bonding interaction are created which become self reinforcing.  Permanent change within the relationship occurs as a result.
