As a therapist, Miriam (she/her) values the healing potential of human connection. Emotion and suffering are natural reactions to life, and the ability to sit with and process life’s challenges with another person can be a gift. Sharing moments of loss, shame, joy, and disappointment can lead to stronger self-acceptance and connection with others.

With an extensive background in working with children, individuals, couples, and families in both educational and mental health settings, Miriam has had the privilege of being witness to many personal stories. Stories of historical trauma, family strife, and significant life events can affect us daily, determining how we interact with the world around us. With a Humanistic lens and an integrative approach, Miriam attends to her clients’ needs, providing individualized care.

Miriam supports individuals experiencing trauma and grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and family conflict. Miriam strives to be welcoming, open, and empathetic to all clients who walk through the door, and to create a safe space for individuals of diverse identities, sexualities, backgrounds, and cultures.
