My Therapy Approach
Hello, I‘m Martha and I am a Registered Psychotherapist. I work with adults—in person across the Halton Region (Oakville, Burlington, Milton, Halton Hills); and virtually across all of Ontario—who are navigating anxiety, depression, and relational struggles. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who you are or where you’re headed, I offer a space to explore with curiosity and care.
Grounded in a psychodynamic and relational approach, I pay close attention to patterns in your emotions, relationships, and history. This helps uncover what may be happening beneath the surface. Rather than jumping to offer solutions, I focus on being fully present with you to allow space for reflection, insight, and emotional growth.
I welcome you to a safe, compassionate space where all parts of you will be seen and heard. If you’re looking to explore and reflect on what’s been challenging you lately, I would be honoured to walk alongside you.
