If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, past experiences, or your relationship with food, you’re not alone—I am here to help when you are ready to connect.

I’m a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years of healthcare experience. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, and eating-related patterns such as emotional eating, restriction, or feeling out of control around food.

I also bring personal insight to this work, which allows me to approach care with deeper understanding and compassion while maintaining a thoughtful, clinical approach to treatment.

I work with individuals who are dealing with ongoing anxiety, stress, or challenges with mood or eating patterns that are starting to impact their daily life.

My goal is to provide individualized psychiatric care where you feel supported and understood and have a clear, and we create a realistic plan to move forward.

Finding the right therapist can feel exhausting—especially if you’ve tried therapy before and felt like it didn't quite "stick." If you're carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, past trauma, or navigating life with ADHD, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. My goal is to make starting therapy feel approachable, safe, and entirely centered around you .My name is Marty, and I offer a warm, down-to-earth, and transparent environment where you can drop the pretense and get real.
