I was new in town and had no one to ask about therapists. I was given a professional referral to her. Marti is patient, compassionate. She also interacts which is important to me. I don't like the whole "patient does all the talking." If I asked her a question, she'd give me an answer. It was a difficult situation I was dealing with, but it was nice knowing that someone truly understand the challenges and decisions I had to make along the way.
