Hi! Have you been feeling sad and lonely? Or maybe angry and overwhelmed? Everyday is a struggle and, even when you have a “good day,” it feels like you are barely making it! Deep down you know that there must be a better way but you don’t know how to get there and finding the right support seems like an impossible task; yet, here you are…
Welcome! My name is Miriam, I’m a trauma-informed, holistic, and multicultural psychotherapist who is passionate about helping people process their pain, heal and thrive!
Whether you are experiencing distress due to past childhood trauma, relational trauma, or situational trauma; addictions, stigma; chronic illness; grief; life transitions; or addiction and struggling to find the will and the means to move on and live a healthy and fulfilling life, I can help!
I work with adolescents, adults, and groups using an evidence-based holistic approach that looks at people as a whole addressing their mental, emotional, physical, social and spiritual wellbeing as well as the interconnection between their mind, body and soul. I also help clients challenge their belief systems and thought patterns to develop new ways of looking at themselves and their circumstances.
My role as a therapist is to guide and support you in processing your pain and balancing your nervous system by connecting with your inner sources of strength and wisdom and learning coping skills such as mindfulness, self-compassion and loving self-care through different strategies such as breathing, relaxation, meditation, movement and so on…
My goal is to help you build resilience which is the capacity to face your challenges and, despite your circumstances, not only recover from them, but adapt, get stronger and better able to cope with future difficulties. Over time you will feel more confident that you can make different choices and you will see that your challenges can be opportunities for growth, empowerment and personal fulfillment that will impact all areas of your life!
One of my unique specialties is working with people dealing with the stigma and the challenges of living with Herpes. According to the Center for Disease Control, “1 in every 8 people between ages 14 and 49 have genital herpes and, at least, 1 in every 2 adults aged 50 have oral herpes” (CDC, 2020). This is a major public health issue that often deeply affects people’s mental health, self-worth and interpersonal relationships and deserves our full-attention and consideration.
