Get Started

Affirming therapy for the whole person, because you deserve to take care of you and your relationships.

Therapy is for everyone at any time in life, whether you want an extra boost to improve what is already there, get support during stressful or confusing times, take on challenging life moments, or heal persistent struggles that keep popping up and getting in the way. You do not need to navigate change alone. Next step? Finding a therapist who is the right fit for you, your relationships, and your goals.﻿
The search for a therapist can be overwhelming and confusing. There are so many different personalities, specialties, modalities, qualities, styles, etc. What you really want to know is: Will I feel safe and comfortable? Will they connect with where I'm coming from, what's going on now, and where I want to go? Will they be able to help me and am I even able to feel better? Are they knowledgeable about what impacts me? Will they understand me and not judge me? Finding a therapist who is on your team, answering these questions honestly and affirmatively is the first step.

Why choose therapy now?

Meet Miriam (she/her)

What I bring to our work together is a calm presence, a respect and consideration for all parts of who you are, care and humor, and a deep curiosity and drive to work together with you towards growth. I believe that every person deserves to be treated with respect and as a whole human being. No matter your gender identity, sexual orientation, relationship type, cultural background, skin color, religion, etc., what makes you unique is valid and integral to your experience. 

As a queer person in the LGBTQ+ community, I value the importance of having a space to feel uninhibited by the pressures, expectations, and often fear of being unsafe, and to show up and be seen as your whole self. I will meet you where you are in the struggles you are facing, challenge you to experience something different, and work with you to untangle the layers of contributing factors that impact your experience while identifying and optimizing your strengths. You are not your problems, and I believe in your capacity for change and growth. 

I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) which means I understand you, the challenges you face, and how to work towards your goals within a larger framework of your context, what makes you who you are (i.e. your culture, sexuality, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, location, etc.), your relationships (i.e. the family you grew up in, other important relationships, romantic relationships, etc.), and the patterns and themes that both keep you feeling stuck and help you feel safe.  We will collaborate on identifying and understanding what is going on, and learn how to experience new ways of relating to yourself and others so you can be your most authentic self and live your life more fully.

I offer individual, couples, and family therapy. My approach is systems-based, humanistic, and trauma informed, providing both talk and EMDR therapy.
