Martha provides a space to aid students in finding their path.

Martha earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Northeastern University in Boston and Masters of Arts in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University. Martha is also certified in EMDR (Trauma Therapy). EMDR can be utilized to address trauma, depression, anxiety, pre/postnatal issues and more.
