Counseling can help develop coping skills to better manage emotions of depression, anxiety, grief or stress; to improve communication between loved ones; and support individuals adjusting to major life transitions.
I spent four years in college counseling centers, and I love working with young adults as they make major career/relationship choices. I'm also passionate about helping foster, adoptive, and multiracial families build a home environment of safety through a trauma-informed lens, and I often work with women's issues including infertility and pregnancy.

I have a particular passion for helping clients release shame, especially those carrying trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, or long-standing self-doubt.
Hello All, My name is Myra and I am a therapist whose work is shaped not only by training, but by deep compassion, resilience, and respect for each person’s story. I believe healing happens when people feel emotionally safe, truly heard, and gently challenged with honesty and care.
I strive to create a space where clients can name what hurts, understand why it hurts, and begin to believe that healing is both possible and deserved. Faith, when welcomed, is expressed through compassion, boundaries, truth, and grace rather than pressure or expectation. I offer sanctuary—a place to heal reflecting the boundless love of Christ.

Many of my clients arrive feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or the heavy fog of grief.
Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. I draw from a diverse "toolbox", including DBT, IFS, and Trauma-Focused CBT and tailor my approach to your unique needs. By also integrating holistic somatic work, we go beyond typical talk therapy to address the brain-body connection. We’ll work at your pace to create steadiness in the body where symptoms are actually felt.

They are often worn down, frustrated, and grieving the life they expected to have.
In therapy, we work to understand your relationship with symptoms, stress, and expectations; loosen patterns that hold you back; and make room for your limitations AND what matters most. Since health flares disrupt daily routines and relationships, we stabilize daily anchors while processing the complex grief of how illness reshapes your identity.

Those who are struggling to communicate or deeply hurt by a loss of connection and closeness.
Currently offering adult (age 18+) individual therapy, couples therapy, marriage therapy, & relationship therapy. I also offer "individual" couples therapy - what's that? It's when one partner wants couples therapy and the other does not, will not, or maybe they cannot. Sometimes, one person making changes can shift the whole cycle.
