About Martha
Her work balances practical skills with emotional exploration. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep someone stuck and building tools for coping, emotional regulation, and clearer communication. Martha helps clients set boundaries, manage burnout, and recover a sense of direction when life feels uncertain.
She uses evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness interventions to address distressing thoughts and increase emotional awareness. Martha also integrates cognitive processing and DBT-informed skills where they fit the client’s needs, and she brings a trauma-informed perspective to complex concerns.
Martha has seven years of clinical experience and has supported people facing depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, attachment wounds, and relationship strain. She has also worked with active-duty service members, veterans, transitioning service members, spouses, and others affected by military life and transition.
People often come for help when they are tired of carrying everything alone or repeating patterns that no longer serve them. Martha aims to help clients gain clarity, build resilience, and reconnect with the life they want to create. If that feels relevant, the next step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Step 3
How Martha’s approaches translate to online therapy
Martha uses evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based interventions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness-based work teaches attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and increase present-moment awareness.She also draws from cognitive processing strategies and DBT-informed skills to address trauma-related thoughts and to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These approaches help people change patterns and build steady coping habits over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martha collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and everyday demands. She tailors the mix of skill work, processing, and practical planning to what will be most useful for each person.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during transitional periods. They can also allow for quieter, more focused conversations or brief skill-practice sessions when that better fits a day’s commitments.
