About Marti
Hi! I’m Marti, and there’s one thing I know for sure about therapy: it’s not one-size fits all.
In fact, the way you experience therapy should be like your morning coffee: refreshing, cathartic, and personalized. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I will work with you to figure out what changes you wish to see, and more importantly, what’s standing in the way. After we discover the patterns that are keeping you from living your best life, we will work together to break the cycle of “stuck”. I do this by moving you through ongoing challenges, understanding unhelpful patterns, and working with you to find strategies to use during life’s more difficult moments.
I have been providing outpatient mental health therapy to clients of all ages since 2014 and I have been providing teletherapy exclusively in private practice since 2018. As someone who has experienced the benefits of psychotherapy both as a client and as a practitioner, I have seen first hand the transformations that come with commitment to the process. My work with clients is informed by psychodynamic psychotherapy and behavioral psychotherapy. As a therapist, my approach is warm and compassionate, with a touch of humor.
When I’m not in session, I can be found traveling, gardening, and spending time off screen with my family and friends.

So now, you put so much of your effort and energy into trying to make life feel the way you imagined. Sometimes you don't recognize the person in the mirror and you wish you could have anticipated the challenges that come along with meeting your goals. I'm here to tell you it’s ok to feel anxious about where your life is or where it’s headed. When you schedule a session with me, we will get clear on the life you truly want, create a plan to get you there, and work through the roadblocks:
