You can change your life. You can become the person that you want to be. Sometimes it takes hard work, usually it means being uncomfortable. But if you are willing to do that work, you can meet your goals. I would love the opportunity to support you on your journey.
I have spent over 20 years committed to this belief and committed to helping individuals along their way. My true passion is helping those who have a history of trauma and helping them learn how it has impacted their lives. Empowering individuals take their power back from whatever it is that they have survived. Trauma is such a vague word, and many things can fall into that category. No trauma is too severe, or too insignificant.
I am a licensed counselor in Pennsylvania. My Bachelor’s and master’s degrees are both in Professional Counseling from Toccoa Falls College and Liberty University. I have spent the majority of my career working with adults from all walks of life. Making people feel safe and comfortable is utmost priority for me. I have an eclectic approach using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Person Centered. I have trauma informed and focused on all my interactions no matter what approach is being used. Additionally, I am certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy.
In my personal life I am a mom, stepmom, dog mom, caregiver, and survivor myself. I love to cook, travel, and use creativity around my house.
I look forward to having an opportunity to work with you.

I’m a bit of a handful, and Miriam has been more than patient with me. I stopped talking to her for a couple of months and now I’m going back. She helped me before and I know she’ll help me again.

Miriam is the best therapist I've ever had. She has the same warmth my mom does and I just trust her so much. She has helped me through the worst time in my whole life and continues to help me as I heal from it. She supports me but doesnt enable me. She lets me know when I need to take a look at myself, and when I should take a look at the people around me. It has made me into a better person. <3

Miriam is amazing… she listens with her heart and is extremely thoughtful with her responses. I appreciate the additional resources and support sent over via message. The check-ins she sends over throughout the week are also so helpful. Sometimes I forget I am in therapy because I feel so safe and comfortable expressing my thoughts, emotions, etc.

Over the last 35 years, off and on I have participated in one on one, in person therapy. I cannot say, except for one therapist that I gained any real help. Miriam has already helped me to accept my situation and is helping me move on. I feel more sure of myself and relaxed!
