I believe in helping people build a life worth living, not just surviving. We often struggle most when we are lacking balance in our lives - and I believe that applies to all things, particularly in the way we view ourselves and the world around us. I have experience working with a variety of concerns including: anxiety, depression, interpersonal difficulties, identity concerns, trauma, borderline personality disorder, substance use problems, and life transitions - all with a focus on building healthy coping skills to regulate emotions, tolerate distress, and improve mindfulness.

You are not broken. No one is. Still it can feel that way sometimes. Chances are, you're actually a capable, talented, and lovable person dealing with a crappy situation (or bunch of situations) or life just isn't what you want it to be. I want to understand how you see yourself, explore what isn't working, and define what success means for you (not what others' or society has told you). We will explore the ways you've overcome hard things before and test out new tools, until we find what works specifically for you. My most important job is to reflect your strengths and beauty back to you and help you put these skills to work.

The clients I have experienced often have had some not so great experiences with therapy in the past and have their guard up. They are looking to be listened to and to work on the goals they identify as important to them, they ultimately want someone they can trust and feel safe/comfortable with. The clients that I have worked with have a variety of issues they bring into services including anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting issues, relationship issues, communication struggles, ADHD, issues at school, self-harm and SI. They want to learn the tools to address their struggles in a realistic and achievable way.

I am solution-focused in my approach to therapy, & I always aim for clients to feel as though they have taken one (or more) practical strategies to apply to their presenting concerns after each session.

The focus of my practice is to help clients create a balanced life. When we are stressed, anxious or depressed, it is a sign that we are living our lives out of balance. I can help you to identify the areas that are out of balance and create a plan to address those areas and get back to a place of balance. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to make changes to improve their lives, find purpose, meaning and fulfillment. I published my book, How to Create Your Balanced Life in 2017 on this topic.

I fully understand what it feels like to have all the feelings but no idea what to do with them. I also know what it’s like to “know” what to do and feel unable to make positive changes. Because of this, I firmly believe you are the expert on your own life and my role as the therapist is to support, encourage, and offer a fresh perspective on areas of struggle. Through our collaborative work, my goal is to offer guidance as you learn to embrace what it means for you to experience a fulfilling, authentic life.

I believe in meeting people where they are and value providing a comfortable and inclusive space for all. I know therapy can be intimidating, and I pride myself on bringing a healthy amount of humor into the therapy room while holding compassion and working through the trauma. As a therapist, I acknowledge systemic injustices that impact my client's experiences in their identity development and celebrate their uniqueness. I welcome all identities and am active in continuing my education and training to meet the needs of historically marginalized clients effectively.

We were not made to experience life alone. I firmly believe that feeling heard and supported facilitates an environment of growth. My strengths and personal experiences with counseling ignited a passion to support others as they move forward in their journey. I emphasize an environment in which individuals feel safe to step into self-exploration and empowered to utilize their personal wisdom as they take steps toward their best self. My biggest hope for clients is that they will realize they are worthy of unconditional positive regard and the work it takes to move toward their best self.

I enjoy working with people of all ages and creating a safe space; from a former client, "I never had the fear of being judged. I could just talk and Miranda would listen. She always had the logical thing to say and knew what I needed to hear at that moment even the hard things! It never felt like therapy to me and I think that was why I felt so comfortable. It was nice to know someone was listening."

My areas of interest are perinatal mood disorders (PMH-C), couples counseling, challenging adult family relationships, women’s issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions, OCD, stress, , and self-esteem issues.
I believe we all have a story to tell. Our life experiences shape who we are and how we think and behave. I feel honored when clients share their stories with me and allow me to help them navigate through these stories to gain a better understanding of themselves and possibly break free from unwanted thinking patterns and behaviors. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of a successful counseling experience and enjoy building these relationships with individuals and couples so we can start working together toward change.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
