I would be lost without Martha for the past 7 months. I’ve made peace with my pain, I’ve learnt to draw boundaries and more than anything else, to believe in myself. Martha has made it so easy for me to express myself, to be myself. I could tell Martha anything without the fear of being judged. I always look forward to my sessions, am excited to tell her the things I’ve felt and experienced during the week, both good and bad. Martha has become a part of my life and is instrumental to helping me getting back on my feet again when it felt like my world was falling apart and I just walked through life aimlessly. I can write pages about how incredible Martha is, but it’s best you find out for yourself. Thank you Martha! -J

Martha has been a wonderful constant in what has been a world of chaos for me these past years.

I have really enjoyed my experience with Martha

Written on Jun 21, 2021 after therapy with Martha for 2 months on issues concerning family conflicts, and self esteem

Martha is a wonderful therapist.
And here’s why:
1. Intelligent and Knowledgeable.
The reason why my therapy sessions have been so successful is because Martha is so well versed in her areas of expertise. For example, she offers me tools and techniques to cope with my stress and panic attacks- both of which have decreased since starting our sessions together. I am now able to identify my stressors, acknowledge my emotions, and use various methods to slowly get rid of my anxiety. At the moment, she’s helping me achieve my goals that have been hindered by my anxious thoughts. I also wanted to make a note that she takes my culture (Asian American) into consideration with regards to our session- something I’m both impressed with and thankful for.
2. Approachable and kind personality
We’ve established a good rapport immediately because she is so kind. She does not judge. She was able to sympathize with me when I was crying and make me laugh at the same time. And she’s very patient and wonderful. You could really tell she just wants the best for you.
3. Professional
Martha has never missed any of our appointments. She’s very prompt and gives you her full attention during the sessions. She always answer my questions if I need help or advice. She also helps me explore solutions I never would’ve thought of if it weren’t for her helpful hand.
All in all, her intelligence, kindness and professionalism makes Martha a fantastic therapist. Which is why I highly recommend her☺️

Martha was amazing made me feel at ease
Like I’d known her for years
Her ability to just say a few words that would open doors in my memories that I didn’t even know I had
I had many issues that I needed to address but Martha seemed to be able to wave a wand like a magician to making me see things differently
Almost immediately
A great lady who I will miss as a person
But it shows how great she is at her job that I am able to now say goodbye to her
And spread my wings and fly with confidence
I will always remember her methods and I now feel like I can pay it forward
So Martha didn’t just help me
She helped my friends and family too. Because I would tell them how my therapy went and they could see certain things in their own lives after so differently too
Highly recommended *****
