More about Martha
- 21 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I am a mental health counselor licensed in Florida with over 18 years of experience and have worked in a variety of settings and management capacities. I earned a bachelors degree in Psychology from Florida Atlantic University and a masters degree from Nova Southeastern University. I hold the following credentials LMHC, MCAP, ACS, CGAC and I am a clinical member of the American Counseling Association, the Dialectical Behavior Therapy National Certification and Accreditation Association and EMDRIA as an approved provider respectively.
The primary focus of my practice has been in addictions and co-occurring conditions working both with adolescents and adults; helping to manage all that accompanies a substance-related or addictive disorder. However I have worked with diverse populations and issues and am accustomed to working with clients in individual, family and group settings. I have helped clients successfully address a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, career challenges, gender identity and LGBTQI+ to name a few. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I practice a blended, technically eclectic model of evidence-based therapies with strengths-based philosophies. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, humanistic, solution focused counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Amazing therapist, so kind and compassionate. As I navigate big life changes, I feel like I truly have someone in my corner.
She’s super awesome and very attentive. Always hears you out and helps you come to an understanding in what your going through. I would strongly recommend
I always feel comfortable to share my thoughts and troubles. I don't feel judged and get amazing advice on my situation. I leave each session feeling better, motivated and ready to tackle my issues and overcome them. My sessions make me analyze my own thoughts in a way that helps me to achieve a healthier mind and clear up my frustrations. My depression and anxiety lessons knowing that I have help from a professional who makes me feel comfortable and safe to share whatever is troubling me.
Grace does a great job of listening to my issues and letting me speak as well as giving me the support I need to improve myself. She challenges me to work on myself and helps me with material to work on myself
I just want it on record that I think she's 5 star top notch.
She has a lot of great reccomendations for books and techniques to try, and she's great at helping me workshop ideas and with putting things in perspective. I feel like I've made a lot of progress in my life since I started seeing her last year, and she's really kept me on track for my goals.
Grace is an excellent therapist. I feel a connection with her and am making good progress because of her help. It feels as if she truly just wants the best for me. She is real, kind, and personable, which makes therapy fun!
Grace is so great. She's really good at helping me problem solve things I can do to improve my situation as well as helping me identify a lot of the smaller issues I overlook in my life. She's also really good at simplifying bigger issues into smaller steps to keep me focused on the present so I don't get as overwhelmed.
She is awesome! She gives me a lot of recommendations on coping skills and assignments. I have confidence that she will help me get in the right track to becoming a healthier version of my self. Thankful to have her
Excellent therapist. Helped me so much!
I am extremely grateful for the time I have spent working with Grace so far. She has offered me helpful solutions for coping with my daily stress and anxiety and has helped me start to get to the deeper root of where my anxiety stems from. I look forward to my sessions with her and have seen a great amount of progress already.
Very wonderful.
A great listener, amazing at pinpointing what’s going on, finds the root of the solution and helps to break it down
