She is great, don't know how I would be making it through stress of doctoral program without her support.

I can't believe that BetterHelp actually found a therapist for all of my concerns. Marti has restored my faith in therapy and my potential as a patient!

I've been with Marti for over 8 months and I can't say enough positive things about her. She is knowledgable, caring, kind, incredibly respectful and as open as you are willing to be with her. I have talked to her about the most sensitive aspects of my life and havent experienced anything other than respect, understanding and genuine human kindness.

Marti is a good listener, is present with my process and seeks to understand what/where I am looking for support. Working with her has been a good experience and I would recommend her.
