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. I appreciate her thoroughness and how well she listens and absorbs the information I’ve given her to help me find my own solutions. I’d recommend her any day!

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. She has helped me process everything from sexual trauma to family history to issues with friends. I would strongly recommend her to anyone and everyone looking to dive in to their emotional well-being and mental health. She is absolutely wonderful and extremely qualified.

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.
