Welcome! I'm Miranda a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My passion is to help others during times of transition (divorce, separation, starting a new career, new school, new relationships, etc). As a team we work to create strong coping skills to manage life's stressors including boundary setting, healthy communication strategies, and stopping negative thought patterns. I utilize other strategies such as art and play therapy to aid in healing and furthering insights into behavioral patterns.

Making this call, or looking for a therapist in general can be a scary thing. Some people have never been to counseling and don't know what to expect. Others have had negative experiences with people they've confided in the past that make them hesitant to put themselves out there again. I am here to make it as easy for you as possible. I will walk you through the process, and answer any questions along the way. I know that trust is earned, and our relationship should be one of high trust, and I'm ready to earn yours. I believe every person is different and deserves individualized counseling based on their own personal needs.

I believe self care is one of the most important tools to maintain mental wellbeing, so I emphasize mental wellness through prioritizing your needs. Practicing change and use of healthy outlets helps individuals cope with stress, keep you grounded, happy and enable the best version of yourself. The challenges of daily stressors lead to feeling helpless and loss of sense of self. The clients I work with are searching for self awareness and identity and want to achieve a sense of peace and stability. These individuals want to gain self autonomy and mental wellness for the purpose of tranquility and whole health.

Everyone has core beliefs that are often formulated at an early age, and can refer to a cognitive construct such as "I don't belong" or "people can't be trusted." When someone is anxious the core belief of "I am a failure" could be activated. When activated these beliefs are experienced by the individual as absolute truths. Although we may "believe" them,the good news is these thoughts are largely false beliefs and can be overcome to fit who you value yourself to be and the purpose you see fit for your life.

There will be times when you don’t feel understood, supported, or truly accepted. You may often feel alone while dealing with your emotions and life’s challenges, even when surrounded by loved ones. Whether you’re faced with unexpected circumstances, find difficulty transitioning from one phase of life to another, or simply feel stuck and uncertain, the idea of dealing with it alone can be overwhelming. We all experience these feelings at one time or another, and yes, that includes our children as well.

Along with traditional 'talk therapy,' my style is to incorporate creative mechanisms in sessions, which might include music, art, poetry, bibliotherapy, etc.
It takes great courage to reach out for help. Needing help is not a bad thing. Sometimes we experience situations that lead to heartache and pain, frustration, anger, unforgiveness, sadness, grief, and on and on. Our situations can seem hopeless at times, and we need another perspective to help us realize that we CAN make it through, and that we ARE strong enough to overcome. My goal is to help you get to the root of the issues and challenges that you are experiencing, whether it be anxiety, depression, behavior problems, etc., so that you can move on to enjoying your life to the fullest.

Art Therapy
How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.
Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.
How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
