I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Private Practice. I have worked in the mental health field for 20 years, 10 of those years as a therapist. I work with all ages but I love working with families with younger children, teenagers, and young adults. In addition to my work as a therapist, I also serve as a Coach to individuals who could use a little more routine in their lives and the accountability to follow through, by creating structure and new patterns. I also enjoy helping parents navigate familial issues related to their children that can help increase family functioning, improve communication, and better relationships.

Are you a professional in crisis? Are you a high-performance individual who is feeling stressed or burned out? Are you having difficulty in your career and want to make a change? Do you wake up anxious dreading the day ahead? Are you having difficulty with your performance at work? My clients are high-performance business professionals just like you who are experiencing difficulty in life. This difficulty might be managing a career, family, relationships, money or health due to work demands, high stress and high expectations. This life difficulty may also include a psychological disorder and/or addiction.

A charter member of AFTA, Dr. Miller works with a diverse population of racial, ethnic, sexual, and religious identities. Her private practice is inclusive and focuses on the person rather than the symptom from a systemic framework. She understands that regardless who she is seeing, all are part of a family system influenced by generations of the past. Her post graduate training with Dr. Murray Bowen, pioneer in the field of the family, influences how she thinks and how she practices. Besides a private practice, Dr. Miller supervises and teaches social work and MFT students and interns.

"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." My goal in therapy is to be a guide for each individual as they become a person they honestly admire and respect. Clients need to be ready to explore with honesty and courage the patterns of behavior and relationships that leave them unhappy and repeating mistakes. Exploring the past, we look for beliefs and historical factors that create vulnerability for engaging in negative behaviors, and discover untapped strengths and potentials. Assessing the present, we find the obstacles, challenges, and opportunities that fill your days, so that you can develop patterns of greater enjoyment and personal satisfaction. Dreaming of the future, we develop and move toward realistic goals so that you are not looking back over a life of "I wish I would have". While maintaining a positive tone and outlook, I believe therapy is less about helping you feel good and more about helping you be good so you feel good. Sessions focus on understanding and altering less helpful, protective patterns of interaction and behavior and actively developing patterns that create excitement and greater intrinsic personal satisfaction.

Special Note: Since the pandemic began, it has developed that communicating with me via email is a faster method for reaching me than by telephone. Different people have different questions about psychology and psychotherapy. Email me with any questions you may have about me or my work and and I will reply as promptly as possible.
