As a licensed therapist in Southern California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges for over 17 years. My approach centers on empowering clients to develop deeper self-understanding, resilience, and authentic connection. With extensive experience addressing stress, relationship dynamics, and personal growth, I create a compassionate space where clients can explore their experiences and cultivate meaningful change.
My clinical focus spans diverse areas including women's issues, multicultural concerns, anxiety disorders, and healing from traumatic life experiences. I'm particularly passionate about helping individuals work through challenges related to anxiety, depression, communication barriers, isolation, relationship challenges, boundary setting, and ADHD. My integrative therapeutic approaches using solution-focus, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT, systemic, client-centered, and acceptance & commitment interventions helped my clients create healthier life choices for a positive present and future.
I understand that each person's journey is unique, and I'm committed to providing culturally responsive, affirming care that honors individual experiences and identities. My goal is to walk alongside you with genuine empathy, respect, and collaborative support as you move toward greater wholeness and well-being. With an open heart, mind, and soul, I will support you into the next stages of your life.
My current available times for sessions are Tuesday - Friday from 9am - 3pm.

Over a couple short sessions Miriam has taught and equipped me with multiple tools I needed to learn to help solve the problems I was currently facing.

Written on Feb 06, 2024 after therapy with Miriam for 1 year on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue
I have spent the past year working with Miriam. After previous and less impactful attempts at therapy, Miriam has found a path forward for me. She responds to my messages, always offering a calm and positive perspective, and it has been so encouraging to know she is there. She is a dedicated professional who constantly continues to expand her knowledge and is always looking for new resources to help her clients understand and comprehend the lessons to be learned. Miriam is gracious, kind, patient, supportive and deeply committed to the health of those trusted to be in her care. I have learned a lot and I am hopeful about my future now I have better tools to use. It’s impossible to express my gratitude to her.

Miriam has quite simply empowered me. She has empowered me to face my truths and not be afraid of them. She understands how I learn and that I am an analytical person so she finds tools that will specifically speak to the way I process information. She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and matter of fact. She knows how to make you look in a mirror without making you feel judged.

Miriam's kind-hearted, comforting, and REAL. What I enjoy most about our sessions is that she lets me drive - allowing me to uncover mind-blowing epiphanies about my past experiences and how they relate to my current emotions/reactions/feelings. I've laughed, cried, and learned so much with Miriam.
