About Martha
She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and problems with sleep and eating. She also helps with addictions, ADHD, caregiving stress, and challenges that come with aging. Martha works with people coping with trauma, abuse, family-of-origin issues, and major life changes.
Martha uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior approaches, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. She adapts her conversation and plan to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all script. That means practical steps and skills are mixed with time to talk through feelings.
Her background includes counseling people with severe mental health concerns and those recovering from physical or emotional trauma. She is also involved in writing a book about a whole-person approach to the brain and is working toward a coaching credential.
People who choose Martha can expect straightforward conversation, respect for their story, and help identifying small changes that make life more manageable. She supports people taking the first steps toward different outcomes and helps them build tools to cope and move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person leads the topics and the therapist listens and reflects. This approach helps when someone needs understanding, emotional validation, and space to make their own decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change those patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and many day-to-day worries.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress when life feels overwhelming. It is useful when someone needs steady tools for strong feelings and better self-regulation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time as those needs change.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow people to keep appointments during transitions or while traveling. It also lets clients choose sessions that match their comfort level, whether that means a shorter check-in or a longer therapeutic conversation.
