Therapists in K2A
At Earthbound Psychotherapy, it is my goal to create a working relationship that feels safe, collaborative, and effective for you. I support individuals seeking a more positive relationship with themselves and others, to cope with stress and change, and to cultivate lives more congruent to their needs and values. I often work with LGBT2SQIA+ adults and those who are exploring their gender, sexuality, or relationship preferences (I am kink/poly-friendly). My approach is informed by clinical experience and also lived experience as a queer and nonbinary person. I approach the challenges you are facing with curiosity and compassion.

You may feel overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in patterns you keep repeating, or reacting in ways that do not fully make sense to you. Maybe anxiety, past experiences, relationship struggles, or emotional burnout are making it hard to feel grounded and connected. I work with adults who want to better understand themselves and create lasting change, not just manage symptoms. Together we will gently explore the deeper roots of what you are carrying so you can feel calmer, more confident, and more in control of your life and relationships.

You want to feel close, secure, and connected in your relationships, but keep finding yourselves stuck in the same patterns—conflict, emotional distance, loss of trust, or infidelity. Maybe you struggle to express your needs, feel unsure of yourself, or have lost touch with who you are. Whether you come alone or with your partner, I support individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, self-esteem, and parenting stress.

You may feel disconnected from yourself and in your relationships, like you’ve lost your way. It can show up as anxiety, numbness, uncertainty, or just getting through the day. But something in you is ready for more. You want clarity, confidence, and a deeper connection to yourself. I help you reconnect with who you are at your core and build a more grounded, authentic life. This foundation of self-awareness and self-acceptance also strengthens how you show up in your relationships, including with partners and family.

If you grew up between cultures, carrying the weight of expectations, silence, or emotional wounds passed down through generations, you’re not alone. Maybe you’ve spent years being the responsible one, strong, capable, holding everything together even while feeling disconnected from your identity, your emotions, or your sense of belonging.
You might be tired of surviving, tired of feeling “ni de aquí ni de allá,” and longing for ease, rest, and a deeper connection with yourself and your roots. You want to feel grounded, understood, and finally safe to be your full self.

If you're looking for a therapist that feels warm, approachable, and appreciates a well-timed joke: I'm glad you're here!

You might feel stuck in the same arguments, walking on eggshells, or like you’re living more like roommates than partners. Maybe communication turns into conflict, trust has been shaken, or the closeness you once had just isn’t there anymore. You’re not sure how you got here but you know something has to change. Whether you’re trying to repair, reconnect, or figure out what’s next, you don’t have to do it alone.
I’m Martine, a Registered Social Worker with over 30 years of experience helping couples find their way back to each other (or, when needed, find clarity about what comes next).

My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and a space where you feel able to grow. Whether you're seeking to build new skills, gain clarity, or reconnect with parts of yourself, my role is to walk alongside you on that journey. I aim to bring a genuineness, humility, and safety to the therapeutic relationship.

You might be someone who is thoughtful and self aware, but still find yourself feeling stuck, especially in relationships, intimacy or your sense of self. Even with insight, certain patterns can keep repeating, or you may feel disconnected from your emotions, your body or what you truly need.
Many of the people who I support have experienced trauma (childhood, medical, sexual) and are trying to make sense of how those experiences continue to shape their inner world, their bodies and their relationships. I also help individuals and couples navigating intimacy concerns and support a range of different relationship structures.

Even for the strongest people, life can be hard sometimes. Whether it is a recent event or difficult past that is affecting you, we can work together to overcome any obstacles you face. As we get to know each other, new things might pop-up because exploring the deepest parts of yourself can be uncomfortable or scary, and that’s okay! You may think, “What if I don’t like what we discover?” I am here to make this journey less lonely for you, and create space for compassion, understanding, and self-love. I will be there to help you sort through these thoughts and feelings so you can live your life authentically!

You’re always the responsible one. The capable one. The one others rely on. But lately, you feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, or relationships that leave you feeling unseen, “too much,” or never truly “enough.” On the outside, you seem fine, but inside, there’s a quiet heaviness that is hard to ignore. Maybe you learned early on that you had to be strong, self-sufficient, or keep your emotions held deep inside. Now those strategies aren’t working the way they once did. You’re starting to wonder if there might be another way to live, but aren’t sure how or where to begin.

Life can be hard sometimes. Deeply painful events, life transitions, and complicated interpersonal relationships are all part of the experience. Sometimes, along the way, we get lost and need to rediscover our sense of self, meaning, or purpose. It can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. As human beings, we develop, grow, and change in and through our relationships. Seeking therapy is a courageous and hopeful step. I am committed to helping you live your life authentically and to its full potential, untethered by anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship problems.
