- Psychologist
I am licensed in State of Iowa with 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with chronic pain, sleeping disorders, medical/health adversity, geriatric-related life changes, career difficulties, military related issues, anxiety, and depression. After gathering a comprehensive history and your identified goals for therapy during our initial session, I will work with you to tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. For some, taking the first step and signing-up for therapy can feel intimidating and unfamiliar. I am committed to fostering a supportive and accepting environment to assist you with reaching you identified goals and become a healthier you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Such an amazing and supportive person. Totally understanding, great response time and great overall care.
Really amazing experience so far in such a short time. She is so professional and understanding. Truly gifted at the work she does!
Dr Martin is so supportive and has really helped me identify ways to help me stay in a healthy state of mind without relapsing back to my dark space. My sessions with her have been very helpful to restoring my mental health to a better place and I’m so grateful.
Very professional, caring and supportive. She really understands the issue and help out.
Dr. Martin is great! She was very good at helping me understand myself and where I was prior to starting therapy. During our time, she helped me with tools to help me overcome the struggles that I was facing. She was great at being graceful when she knew that I needed it and yet still helped me get to where I am today. I would recommend Dr. Martin 10 out of 10 times!
Dr Martin is very empathetic and understanding. I have never once felt judged by her, and have felt free to be my authentic self. I feel like I can trust her with what's going on inside my mind.
Dr. Martin is one of the most supportive therapists I've ever had. She listens to me with intention and helps me get/stay focused on the real issues I need to deal with. My head is all over the place and she helps me get focused so I can address one issue at a time. She provides a variety of ways for me to think through my challenges and ensures that what she is offering aligns to my personality style. She is very responsive, very caring and I appreciate her so very much.
Dr. Martin did a great job at connecting with me and listening to my problems. She really validated what I was going through!
She listens to what I need to say. SHe reads my journal and finds things to help me.
She has a lot of knowledge and expertise. I feel like I can be honest about how I am really doing with her.
I’ve been working with Dr. Martin for a couple weeks now and I love her. I feel like she understands my concerns and what I’m looking for in therapy. She has been very kind and very informative. I’m really looking forward to building on what we have done so far over the past couple weeks. I feel like she is going to be a tremendous help to me and I’m very grateful to have been paired with her.
Dr. Martin is a caring individual who is incredibly professional and passionate about the lives of others!
