Hi there, I’m Martha.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn? You don’t have to navigate it alone. I support individuals and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges—using a compassionate, personalized approach grounded in evidence-based practices like ACT, CBT, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward the life you deserve. Let’s take that first step together.

My Approach

There’s no one-size-fits-all path to healing, which is why I tailor therapy to fit you. I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches—including ACT, CBT, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy—to support your unique journey. Our work together will focus on building practical tools, deepening self-awareness, and identifying patterns that may be holding you back. My goal is to create a supportive space where real change feels possible—and progress feels meaningful.

My Focus

I work with adults who feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or relationship struggles but are ready to feel more connected, empowered, and at peace. Many of my clients are high-achieving individuals who appear to have it all together on the outside, yet inside feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, healing from past wounds, or striving to improve your relationships, I’m here to help you gain clarity, develop practical coping strategies, and foster lasting change.

My Communication Style

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine, supportive conversation. My communication style is compassionate, collaborative, and direct when needed—I’ll always listen closely and create space for you to express yourself fully, without judgment. At times, I may gently challenge you or offer new perspectives to help you move forward, but always at a pace that feels safe and supportive. You can expect honest feedback, thoughtful questions, and a space where your voice is truly heard and respected.

My Journey to Mental Healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep curiosity about human resilience—how we navigate life’s hardest moments and still find ways to grow. Early in my career, I worked with individuals facing trauma, grief, and relationship struggles, and I witnessed firsthand the incredible strength people carry within them. What continues to inspire me is the privilege of walking alongside clients as they rediscover that strength, gain clarity, and create meaningful change. Every story is unique, and every step forward matters.

My Goals for You

We’ll work together to set goals that feel meaningful and achievable to you—whether that’s reducing anxiety, healing from trauma, strengthening relationships, or simply feeling more like yourself again. I believe in collaboration, so your voice and needs will always guide our work. Life evolves, and so do your priorities. I’ll check in regularly to ensure we’re on the right track and adjust as needed, offering tools, insights, and steady support along the way.

Your First Session With Me

Your first session is all about getting to know you—your story, your needs, and what brings you to therapy. We’ll explore what’s working in your life, what feels challenging, and what you hope to get out of our time together. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My role is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel safe and heard. By the end of our session, we’ll have a clearer picture of your goals and a roadmap for how we can work together to get there.
