Hi, I’m Rosalie
I'm a Filipino-American engineer-turned psychotherapist and coach. I created The Maduro Method to bridge mind, body, and story in therapeutic work.
This holistic approach draws from somatic and evidence-based modalities, including EMDR, TRM, IFS, CBT, and DBT, helping clients process trauma, release what the body holds, and reshape limiting stories.
My Work
I specialize in trauma. When clients come to me with trauma, they often carry a glass that feels fragile and unsteady, as if it's about to shatter. Together, we take the courageous step of breaking that glass into tiny pieces, exploring each fragment with care and curiosity. Piece by piece, we examine what belongs in their reauthored story—what fits, what doesn’t, and how it all connects.
This process means revisiting old memories, untangling the threads of past pain, and confronting patterns that no longer serve them. It’s not easy; it’s raw and often heart-wrenching. But through every moment, I am there guiding, supporting, and holding space, until together, we create a new glass. It might be imperfect at first, but it’s solid, whole, and uniquely theirs.
From there, our work shifts to polishing that glass, refining their narrative into one that reflects their strength, resilience, and the beauty of their true self. It becomes a story they can own with pride, one that honors their journey and celebrates their growth.

What Makes the Maduro Method Different
It's Not Just Talk Therapy
Traditional therapy often focuses on thoughts alone. The Maduro Method works with the mind, body, and the personal narrative you carry—creating change that is integrated and lasting.
Deep, Rooted Transformation
Instead of managing symptoms, this approach helps you understand where patterns started, how they are held in your nervous system, and how to shift them for good.
A Personalized, Collaborative Process
Your healing is not one-size-fits-all. Every session adapts to what your mind, body, and story need that day, creating a truly individualized journey.
Small Shifts. Lasting Change.
Healing trauma through an integrated journey of mind, body, and story.
