What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients often describe Martina’s style as warm, collaborative, grounded, and thoughtful. She believes therapy works best when clients feel emotionally safe, genuinely heard, and free to show up exactly as they are. Martina approaches therapy with curiosity, compassion, and authenticity, while also gently encouraging growth and self-exploration.
Her work is rooted in the understanding that our past experiences, relationships, and environments can deeply shape how we relate to ourselves and others. She helps clients explore these patterns while also staying connected to the present moment through mindfulness, grounding techniques, and somatic awareness.
Martina works with clients experiencing anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, trauma, stress, and emotional overwhelm. She values honoring each client’s unique background, culture, identity, and lived experience, and believes clients are the experts of their own lives.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Martina’s approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to each individual client’s needs and goals. In the beginning, sessions often focus on building trust, understanding what brings the client to therapy, and exploring personal history, relationships, and current challenges. She works at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive for each person.
Sessions may include insight-oriented conversations, exploration of emotional and relational patterns, mindfulness practices, grounding exercises, and somatic techniques that help clients reconnect with their bodies and emotions. Martina also helps clients develop practical coping tools and greater emotional awareness to navigate day-to-day stressors and life transitions.
Above all, Martina strives to create a therapeutic space that feels safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental, where clients can deepen self-understanding, strengthen relationships, and move toward meaningful change.
