My early training and early career jobs were in agencies serving primarily children and adolescents.
I have a great deal of clinical experience as I have been in private practice since 1991. I enjoy working with clients from many different walks of life and tend to cater my approach to the individual client. I tend to blend a variety of treatment approaches such as cognitive behavioral approaches to more insight oriented therapy.

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."

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
