Madi (she/her) is a student counsellor with over six years of experience as a social worker supporting survivors of sexual and gender-based violence. She is a cisgender, first-generation Canadian with Croatian roots, currently living on the unceded and traditional territories of the Katzie, Kwantlen, Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen, and Coast Salish peoples.
With warmth, curiosity, and genuine care, Madi aims to create a therapeutic relationship that is grounded in your sense of safety and autonomy. Through her trauma-informed approach, she works to create a supportive space where you can reconnect with yourself and your body to explore your experiences freely, holistically and without shame.
Madi believes that everyone has the inherent capacity to heal but understands how each person's life context can create challenges to accessing this healing. Drawing from intersectional feminist and anti-oppressive theories, Madi aims to understand you within your social, cultural, and environmental context and how these factors impact your mental health and well-being. As a social worker, she is deeply committed to social justice and advocacy within her practice.
Drawing on her passions, lived experiences, and professional background, Madi welcomes members of the queer community, survivors of sexual assault and gender-based violence, those healing from high-control religious environments/purity culture, and those within non-traditional relationship structures. That being said, Madi feels deeply honoured to work with anyone who feels they may be a good match.
Madi maintains balance by spending quality time with loved ones and connecting with herself through heels dance or intentional rest. She also loves any spontaneous outdoor adventure, and you might find her backcountry hiking, camping, skiing, or surfing!
