I’m Miranda, a Licensed Master Social Worker in Connecticut, practicing under the supervision of an LCSW at Nightfall Counseling LLC. I work with teens, adults, and families who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that aren’t working. My approach is supportive, structured, and down-to-earth, focused on helping you feel understood while building practical tools for real life. You don’t need to have the right words to start — we’ll figure things out together. We’ll do meaningful work, and yes, sometimes there’s room for humor too. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating to be effective.
I support teens, adults, and families dealing with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, and difficult transitions. Therapy with me is collaborative and practical, focused on building understanding and tools that help you feel more steady, supported, and capable in everyday life.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when things already feel heavy. You don’t need to know exactly what to say or what you’re looking for. If something feels off or overwhelming, reaching out can be a way to pause, talk it through, and see what support might look like.

I help teens, young adults, and families navigate anxiety, trauma, emotional reactivity, relationship conflict, and life transitions. Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and skill-based, blending DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care. Recovery snd progress in treatment is never the same for everyone but together we can build clarity, confidence, and stronger emotional balance.
