You don't need another masterclass
You need more time away from your desk
I support mission-driven clinicians in prioritizing their personal and creative lives outside of session so they can show up as fully themselves inside of session.
Even if you're expertly trained, it's your humanity that makes attunement in the theraputic process possible. And that starts with you.
PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS YOU CAN TRUST
PROFESSIONAL & CREATIVE MENTORSHIP
If you want to transform your perfectionism into purpose, develop your unique voice in a healthcare economy that wants to make it uniform, and protect your time away from your desk to develop a creative writing process that helps you in the grief and joy of this work and this life, you're in the right place.
JESUS BELIEVING, ANTI-PERFECTIONISM ACTIVIST HERE FOR those "ugh-you're too deep" conversations that call you higher.
I'm Claire-Madeline.
The only stranger you'd trust to read your journal.
I'm a Virginia Licensed Professional Counselor, and a creative writer. I'm a fourth-generation coastal small towner with a big-city calling and a heart that's always yearning to return home. I'm a fiercely independent go-it-alone kinda girl with a desire to sink my feet in the sand at a beach-house my one-day children will inherit....
Because it's not in seeking certainty but in living (& writing) into ambiguity that we find freedom (on the page & beyond it.)
(& I bet yours isn't either 😉)
I know, writers are about the details 🤓😉
Name:
Hyphenated first name. Madeline is my grandmother's name & I love getting to carry her legacy.

fast facts
Current GPS:
I'm from a coastal small town and after a time, came to find that while no where in the *literal* world will make me feel at home in the way the south shore of Long Island does, it's also true that I needed to leave to fully...become. You feel me?
Coffee Order:
A little bit of steamed milk (yes, like, the OG milk, from cows) steamed to perfection (not frothy) to cut the acidity of a strong 2x shot of espresso. Unless its humid. Then iced americano all the way.
Social Cause I Care About:
I witnessed my grandmother do so much healing as she approached the end of her life and am a firm believer in the growth that is possible as we age.
Writing Process in 5 words:
I write on pieces of scrap, use voice-memos on the go, and have a notes folder in my iPhone to get sentences or paragraphs down. Bringing them all together is an intuitive process that I created structure around as I mastered it (& I teach you to do the same).
Top 3 Spotify Artists:
A little bit sad. A little bit of a teeny-bopper. A little bit Christian. Sounds about right.
DL Your Free Gratitude Journal
it's not free espresso, but it's damn close:
A daily gratitude practice with the reflection prep-work necessary to actually shift the story you tell about your-day-to-day.
