About Rosalie

A therapist with a background you wouldn't expect.

Engineer. Entrepreneur. Cross-cultural leader. And now psychotherapist and creator of The Maduro Method. The path was anything but linear, and that's exactly what shaped the work.

Meet Rosalie

Hi. I'm Rosalie.

What if your body already knows the way forward and simply needs the right guide to listen?

I'm a Filipino-American engineer-turned-psychotherapist. I created The Maduro Method to bridge mind, body, and story because healing isn't just emotional. It's relational, embodied, and deeply personal.

My path to this work was anything but linear. I began my career at George Washington University, rising from intern to Acting Director of Career Counseling while earning a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

I later spent more than two decades as a consultant, entrepreneur, and team leader, building cross-cultural partnerships across startups, midsize companies, and global institutions.

Those years revealed something that had little to do with strategy. People are always searching for the same things: meaning, belonging, and the freedom to be fully themselves. That insight became the foundation of everything I do.

I hold particular commitment to supporting BIPOC, AAPI, Filipinx, and LGBTQIA+ communities, especially those who have felt unseen, misunderstood, or underserved within traditional therapy spaces.

My Work

The work I do with clients.

I specialize in trauma. When clients come to me, 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.

From there, our work shifts to polishing that glass, refining the narrative into one that reflects strength, resilience, and the beauty of a true self. It becomes a story they can own with pride.

The Framework

The framework behind the work.

Everything I do draws from The Maduro Method — a relational and nervous-system-informed approach to healing that integrates mind, body, and story. It's the lens through which I work with every client, in every session.
