Difficult past? Chaotic present? Uncertain future? These are the questions that can plague us with anxiety and slowly take over our lives. You want relief from the constant worrying, or relief for your child who cannot stop worrying. You want freedom from the childhood experiences that, despite your best efforts, continue to impact your current life. You want to understand how to survive as an introvert in a world catering to extroverts. You want to find a way to communicate with a distant partner. You are in the right place and on your way to a better life.

Clients have expressed that my positivity and humor, mixed with realism and accountability, are helpful in the therapy process. Together we will build an authentic connection, get to the core of recurring problems, and heal from life events. One of my favorite quotes is, “No one knows you better than yourself”. Even so, at times we struggle to heal and make changes on our own. Sometimes we need help evaluating our relationships and experiences from a new perspective.

I have been a psychotherapist for the past 15+ years and really enjoy my job. I have been able to meet a lot of interesting people and help others with a variety of problems. I strive to offer opportunities for people to live more authentic and meaningful lives and have deeper more intimate relationships. I do not offer shallow advice, easy solutions, false hopes, or pat answers; only a commitment to journey with you in the most authentic and compassionate ways I know how.

I would be happy to meet in person or talk by phone for a free 20-minute consultation to explain further how I help my clients and see.
***In-Person Appointments*** The most expensive kind of therapy is the kind that doesn't work. Maybe it feels scary to wonder if real healing can happen. I'm a Certified EMDR Therapist and I combine EMDR with IFS therapy to create an effective method that has worked for permanent healing time and again. Instead of feeling bad about certain parts of ourselves, I encourage people to instead get curious and compassionate toward these "parts of themselves" that are trying to keep them safe and help them by making them anxious, angry, or even depressed.(Sounds strange, right?) We slow things down and get to know you, one part at a time.

Learning to navigate your heart—its past and present aches and longings—and learning how to walk alongside others is essential for discovering purpose in your life. Real, meaningful living involves finding safe places to tell your story and share your struggles; it means relying on someone to hear and hold what your heart has held alone. Counseling is a focused and supportive space for such work to be done. Every journey begins with a single step. An inch in the right direction.

I know you're "fine, totally fine, absolutely fine"...but just in case you're a little "not fine", I'm here. Maybe you are here because people whom you’ve naturally turned to for care and protection have hurt or neglected you in some way. Or maybe you're here because you have found yourself unable to honor the commitments and promises that you have made to yourself; or those whom you love due to your addictive behaviors. It takes time to allow the reality behind our symptoms to reveal themselves. Treatment can help you feel more present in the moment, in control of your world, compassionate towards all of your parts, and safe.

Therapy? It is difficult to make the decision to enter into therapy but even more important to find a therapist in which you feel comfortable. Understanding these feelings of others have allowed me to be in practice for over fifteen years. Making the first step to call can be a difficult process and I pride myself in empathizing with this difficulty. I have made it part of my practice serving children, adolescents, and adults to take the time to relate to each individual on an individual basis and attempt to make each client to feel comfortable making this difficult step.

Every individual has a story to share, a desire to be seen and understood. I would love to provide the space for you to share your story. I believe that the past impacts who we are but it does not need to define who you can become. I provide a safe space for individuals to share what is taking place in their lives, to identify goals in a nonjudgemental environment and create the life you desire.

My ideal client is one that is their authentic self in sessions. I find that when a client is open and honest about who they are and what they struggle with they are also more successful at achieving their goals. I typically see teens and adults who struggle with things like: anxiety, OCD, depression, perfectionism, fear of failure, grief, trauma, and life transitions. I find that most clients want to be heard, understood and validated.

My goal when a client comes in to my office is for them to feel like they are safe to share anything. Most of my clients have experienced hardships or trauma that can be hard to talk about, but it's often necessary to heal. I am curious to learn about the lives people have lived and what has molded and shaped them. There are so many heavy aspects of life that we can carry. I take a holistic approach to identifying problem areas, understanding how the mind and body are connected in storing trauma, emotions, patterns of familial influence, and figuring out how to break out of cycles that limit people from living a fulfilling life.

Hello! I'm Miranda, a clinical social worker who is passionate about working with children ages 10 and younger. I strive to provide a safe, natural, and welcoming environment for children to come and make sense of life's various challenges in the most appropriate way- through play. Therapeutic play encourages children to express their feelings and struggles, and model what is happening in their world. They learn to solve their problems, accept themselves and others, regulate and develop self control, build coping skills and resilience, grow their self-esteem and emotional vocabulary, and understand others' perspectives.
