Trauma Therapy for Anxiety and Relationship Issues For Teens and Adults In Owings Mills, MD
A safe place to heal past wounds and feel calmer, more confident, and connected.
You’re exhausted from holding everything together, and it’s starting to fall apart inside. You may find yourself feeling overwhelmed, on edge, or emotionally exhausted, even when you’re doing everything you can to hold things together. But you're afraid of making the wrong move. You keep going quiet to avoid conflict, even when it hurts you. Inside, there’s panic, self-doubt, and the fear that if you change anything, everything could fall apart. You feel like you are "too much" or "not enough" at the same time. I work with adults who want deeper therapy that addresses long-standing patterns rooted in early experiences, so you can feel safe being yourself, set boundaries without guilt, and build relationships that don’t require you to disappear.

Hi I’M Martha.
A Trauma-informed Therapist in Owings Mills, MD
I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and tailored to each person’s unique experiences. I focus on helping you feel seen, understood, and supported. In therapy with me, you can take things at your own pace, make sense of what you're experiencing, and begin to feel more grounded and connected.
This work is not about quick fixes or learning to "manage" your feelings. It's about understanding what keeps you stuck and helping you feel steady enough to make real, lasting changes in yourself and in your relationships.
I’m a licensed counselor with specialized trauma training, including work with Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems (IFS). My goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and effective therapy experience for you.

Get Support From Wherever You Are
I provide online therapy in Owings Mills and across Maryland. Virtual therapy offers a convenient, flexible way to access professional mental health support from wherever you are. Online counseling eliminates commute time, makes scheduling easier, and allows you to attend sessions from a comfortable, familiar environment, which many people find helps them feel more relaxed and open. Telehealth therapy also provides consistent access to care during busy seasons, travel, or life transitions, making it easier to prioritize your emotional well-being without disrupting your routine.
If you’re looking for therapy without insurance restrictions, you may hear the terms self-pay and out-of-network benefits. Here’s how they differ:
Out- Of- Network
Some insurance plans offer out-of-network mental health benefits. This means you pay for sessions upfront, then submit documentation (called a superbill) to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Depending on your plan, you may receive partial or full reimbursement for therapy costs.
Private- Pay
Private pay means you pay directly for counseling sessions without involving insurance, allowing for greater privacy, flexibility in session length and frequency, and more control over your mental health care. Without insurance guidelines shaping treatment, no diagnosis is required, and therapy can move at a pace that best supports your needs. This approach keeps the focus where it belongs — on your healing, personal growth, and long-term wellbeing rather than on administrative requirements or coverage limitations.
