Hi there, I'm Martha!

You can call me Marti! Reaching out takes real courage, and I’m here to support you through life transitions, daily stress, and personal growth with grounded, collaborative, and tailored care. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing space where you can be completely yourself, feel deeply heard, and begin meaningful, lasting healing at your own pace.

My focus

I love working with adults of all ages—from young adults finding their footing to older adults managing new chapters in life. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, major life changes, or learning to thrive as a Highly Sensitive Person, I'm here to help you make sense of it all, focusing on what is important for you.

My approach

My approach is rooted in honoring you as a whole person—mind, body, heart and spirit. With over 30 years of experience alongside a passion for learning, I draw from a rich toolkit. Your care is never one-size-fits-all. Integrating parts work, somatic practices, mindfulness and CBT we will gently nurture emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
