About Martha

A steady presence for
life's hardest seasons

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience walking alongside people through grief, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and the quiet but heavy struggles that don't always have a name.

My practice is rooted in the belief that every person deserves to be heard without judgment — to have a space where they can set down the armor they wear every day and simply be themselves. I work with adults and older adolescents, offering both in-person sessions in our Chapel Hill office and telehealth appointments that fit into your schedule.

Whether you're navigating a major life transition, healing from past hurts, or simply feeling stuck, I'll meet you where you are — with warmth, respect, and genuine curiosity about what matters most to you.

How I can support you

Each person's journey is unique. Here are some of the areas I work with — but your story is what matters most.

Anxiety & Stress

When worry feels constant and your mind won't quiet down, therapy can help you find your grounding again — with practical tools and a compassionate space to untangle what's weighing on you.

Depression

Depression can make even small things feel overwhelming. Together, we'll explore what's behind the heaviness and work toward a sense of lightness and purpose that feels achievable.

Grief & Loss

There's no timeline for grief, and no right way to feel. I offer a gentle, patient space to honor what you've lost and find a way forward — at your own pace.

Relationships

Whether it's a partnership, family dynamic, or patterns that keep showing up, we'll look at what's really happening beneath the surface — and what you deserve.

Trauma & PTSD

Trauma lives in the body as much as the mind. I provide a trauma-informed approach that prioritizes safety, stability, and gradual healing — never rushing the process.

Life Transitions

Career changes, empty nesting, relocation, new parenthood — transitions can be both liberating and disorienting. Let's navigate them with intention and self-compassion.

My Approach

Therapy that fits you

I draw from several evidence-based approaches, tailoring each session to who you are and what you need — because one size never fits all.

1

Listen First

Every session begins with you. I'll listen deeply to understand your world — your concerns, your strengths, and what brings you to therapy right now.

2

Collaborate

You're the expert on your life. I'll partner with you to set goals, explore patterns, and develop strategies that feel authentic and sustainable for you.

3

Grow at Your Pace

Healing isn't linear, and neither is therapy. We'll move at a pace that feels safe and meaningful — celebrating small steps as the victories they are.

"The greatest thing a human being ever does in this world is to see something. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy, and religion — all in one."

— John Ruskin
