meet martha.
I appreciate your willingness to take the first step towards getting closer to the life you desire. I look forward to coming alongside you and working together to get you to your goals. You’ve demonstrated great strength and bravery by making this step.
You deserve to live the life you desire. I trust that we can work together to get you there. Although there may be some challenges along the way I will be there with you to support and encourage you with each step you take.
My approach:
My hope is to create room in therapy for you to feel connected, supported, and free to be your true authentic self. I work to gain a deep connection that will both challenge you and inspire you to take risks and to grow. My intention is to see, know, and understand you and your journey to this point.
Once we’ve gained a deeper understanding of who you are and how you’ve made it to this point we will work together to get you to the life you’ve longed for. My goal is to empower you with the ability to make choices that allow you to live the life you desire.

When you're ready, I’m here.
