About Martha
She uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused steps. In practice this means she listens first, then helps set clear goals and practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, or relationship tensions.
Martha has supported people facing trauma and abuse, addiction and substance concerns, parenting challenges, grief, and career stress. She also addresses concerns like attention challenges, compassion fatigue, sleep and eating problems, and issues tied to family of origin or abandonment. Her background includes work with severe mental illness and complex presentations over many years.
Her sessions balance active teaching and collaborative conversation. She aims to tailor dialog and plans to what each person needs, using skill-building, short-term problem solving, and deeper processing when it helps. She is also coauthoring a book about holistic brain approaches and is working toward a coaching credential.
If someone is ready to try therapy, Martha offers supportive guidance and practical steps. The first sessions focus on understanding the person's goals and creating a plan that fits their life and priorities.
