There is another way.

You’re trying, but nothing is changing.

Too often we 'tough it out' rather than reaching out to ask for help when we need it most. But we can do so much more together than we can ever do alone.

I work with teens and adults looking to get unstuck. My practice is a place of compassion, curiosity, creativity, playfulness and where you can get encouragement and support while navigating life’s challenges.

 

Hi there, I’m Martha.

I’ve been in your shoes. I’ve spent much of my life trying to be ok and figure myself out. I didn’t know how to feel or find real connection in others or myself. I tried many different ways to try and numb, avoid, and survive. I eventually could not stand this way of being so I sought the help of a therapist. Through the help of others, I was able to embrace myself, my body, and my feelings. I could actually begin to connect to others and myself.

I know you can have this too.
