In my practice, I aspire to create a space where you feel safe and supported in exploring the parts of yourself and your experiences that may feel painful or scary. Everyone’s therapy journey takes a unique path – we will work collaboratively to identify your hopes for therapy and what is most helpful for you. Whether it’s improving relationships, increasing self-awareness, or better understanding and honouring your needs and values, I will support you in creating the changes you’re hoping for in your life.

I work from an integrative perspective, drawing on Attachment Theory, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Strengths-Based approaches. While I value these modalities, I believe it’s important to adapt therapy to your unique needs and we will work together to create a plan that feels meaningful and best supports your goals.

I strive to create a therapeutic space that serves as a vessel of safety and connection within which we explore how your experiences have shaped your sense of self, relationships, beliefs, and values. I uphold a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive lens, where all parts of you are welcomed and respected. My hope for you is that therapy is a place of vulnerability, clarity, and empowerment.

Taking the first step to reach out for support takes courage – I’m glad you’re here. I invite the opportunity to get to know you and walk alongside you on your journey of healing and growth.

Particular Areas of Focus:

Anxiety, relationship challenges (romantic, friend, family), perfectionism, life transitions, self-esteem/self-worth, personal identity/growth

Hi and welcome! My name is Martha (she/her), and I’m a Registered Psychotherapist. Psychology has always fascinated me and from a young age, I knew I wanted to pursue a helping profession. I find people intriguing – our relationships, behaviours, struggles, and triumphs. Navigating the world can be both rewarding and daunting, and my passion is to support others in discovering how to live their lives in a way that’s most authentic to them.

Outside of my role as a therapist, I value being a daughter, aunt, and friend. In my free time, I enjoy baking, watching true crime series, and trying out new cafes with friends (I love a good iced coffee). I also really value any time I get to spend in nature. The fresh air and natural calmness help me feel grounded and centered, whether that’s venturing out on a hike in the GTA or exploring a new destination (Jasper, Alberta has been my favourite so far!).

One of my favourite hobbies is crocheting and I’ve been working on creating baby blankets and toys to donate to centers that support children in disadvantaged families and communities. I’m grateful that my hobby lets me relax and be creative while helping others!
