Martha has worked extensively with a wide range of individuals from every socio-economic level. Addiction is non discriminating and although people’s circumstances differ, the disease steals the most essential and universal of  human qualities - the need to access true self, capacity to correctly perceive personal circumstances, thus damaging effective problem solving skills and preventing one from meeting his/her/their highest needs.

Through providing profound and truthful validation, clients rapidly shift from problem action to solution (change) action. People’s solutions are impressively and vastly found within themselves. Martha provides safety and reflects clarity while facilitating self-awareness and assertive action which motivates emotion and compels further change. Martha works with clients aging from 15 – elderly and families.
