I believe the most important first step in the therapeutic relationship is to build trust and rapport.
Hi there, I'm Miranda, a licensed clinical social worker. I am a mother of four and have been in private practice for about five years. Before that, I worked in clinical settings, in criminal and family courts and shelters. Much of my experience has been with at-risk youth and victims of domestic violence so I mainly utilize a trauma-informed approach. However, I don't subscribe to any single theoretical approach, and employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Psychodynamic techniques based on each individual. I will also teach you the skills to help you contain any reactions or symptoms that come up while processing.

Hi there. My name is Joseph Kaspar, PsyD. While I am flexible in my approach, I try to help my clients experience relief as quickly as possible. I am also willing to "explore the depths" with you if you are interested. I am comfortable treating most mental health issues, but I also have experience working with several specialty populations, including chemical dependency issues, law enforcement/first responder issues, and personality issues (like borderline personality disorder). I generally work with adults (18 and older). I provide (and enjoy) both individual and couples therapy.

'It's never too late to have a happy childhood.' As a nurturing therapist, I believe my role is to provide support, guidance, and a SAFE place to share, vent, scream, cry, laugh or just sit quietly. I also believe it's not what happens to people that's most important, but what they do about it. Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. Though daunting, this realization can be extremely EMPOWERING--You are in charge of your life and your future happiness! With this knowledge, change can unfold.

I also have experience working with couples on communication and conflict resolution.
If you are dealing with persistent anxiety, depression, disordered eating or body dysmorphia, low self-esteem, or conflict in your relationships, then you know what it means to struggle with your mental health. It's heavy, pervasive in its impact on your quality of life, and it can be difficult to navigate alone. Or maybe you're not alone, but the people around you don't seem to understand or know how to help? I believe these experiences in my own life shaped my understanding and ability to extend empathy and compassion to others dealing with similar issues. Having someone else to walk through it with you can be so helpful!

My passion is to help people find that moment in their lives when they can truly love themselves and tap into their internal strength. I didn't always have that, and I know how hard it is to find.

I specialize in military life, veterans, domestic violence, child abuse, relationship work and parenting. This comes from education that I have received and life experiences.

Do you ever wonder, "how did I get here"? We all experience seasons in our life of feeling stuck, which can often breed hopelessness. And, this may even feel like a theme in our lives. Many of us have have fallen into codependent patterns characterized by people-pleasing, shame, anxiety, depression, and feelings of worthlessness. This can feel scary and confusing, especially if we can't recognize concrete explanations. I am passionate about working with individuals and couples struggling with these challenges and hardships, often inherited through long-standing relationships with narcissistic personalities.
