What if the “Sandpaper Moments” of life are nothing to fear but when met with purpose and patience, can lead us to smoother edges?
Martha’s book invites you to shift your heart and mind as you transform challenges into triumphs and find meaning in the messiness of life with both grit and grace.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I book you to speak at an event?
Here! I am a Licensed therapist, author, mother, teacher, and mentor. I specialize in speaking on various topics ranging from the power of curiosity as a balm for conflict and relationship struggles, the intersection of mental health and faith, anxiety and depression management, and parenting. I love empowering people to see the struggles as opportunities for refinement and providing hope amidst the hard things so that there can be trust and hope that no matter the “sandpaper moment” of life, if we respond with purpose and patience, the struggle will never have the last word, because it will draw us towards our refinement and restoration. And with a background in comedy, I also promise that we will laugh some because humor can diffuse the hardest of situations, and if I’ve learned anything in this life, it’s that humor and struggle can coexist.

What do you consider your specialty?
I am a licensed counselor in the states of North and South Carolina and own and operate a private practice. I believe that empathy does not discriminate and knows no bounds. I have a lot of experience and expertise in walking alongside clients who experience anxiety and depression and guiding them to see their own strengths and gifts, along with the coping skills to control their anxiety or depression so that they can experience a full life within their story, not despite it. I offer parenting consultations as well as individual counseling.
I love speaking to groups about the power of curiosity, managing anxiety and depression, parenting, self-care, and the intersection of faith and mental health. I believe in the healing power of fun, kindness, truth-telling without shame, and that every story holds the possibility of redemption.
