Bio
For more than 14 years, Madison has walked with individuals, couples, teens, and families through trauma, confusion, relationship strain, and major life transitions. He believes the gospel speaks with both tenderness and power into the places that hurt.

His hope is to help people move beyond merely enduring pain toward honest surrender, deeper understanding, and the healing and transformation found in Jesus. His work includes trauma and abuse recovery, addiction, men’s sexual struggles, marriage and family dynamics, and support for teens and young adults.

Madison is also especially passionate about serving autistic teens, adults, and families—a focus shaped in part by lived experience. He seeks to create a safe, grace-filled space where people can speak freely and be met with care.
