Biography
I am a Clinical Social Worker and a graduate of Florida International University, committed to supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. I work with individuals experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, self-esteem issues, and major life transitions. My approach is client-centered and evidence-based, drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and collaborative goal-setting. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is respectful, supportive, and nonjudgmental, where clients feel safe exploring their experiences and working toward meaningful change. I recognize that personal values and beliefs can be an important source of strength in the healing process. For clients who desire it, I am able to incorporate faith-based perspectives into treatment, while always respecting each individual’s beliefs, preferences, and therapeutic goals. My aim is to help clients build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and achieve greater emotional well-being.

Martha is an incredible caregiver and we’re so lucky to have found her. She has helped my child, and our family, immensely by providing such a warm, welcoming safe space. She easily adjusts to unique needs and shares real life tools and techniques to integrate into our daily lives.

Martha is excellent when it comes to communication skills, and she has been doing an amazing job working with my daughter. She is very knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly helpful. I’m so grateful that I chose her as my daughter’s therapist.
