Preferred Name: Miriam
About Me
I am a multicultural psychotherapist specializing in anxiety, depression, and trauma. I use an integrative, trauma-informed approach tailored to each client’s unique needs. In addition to EMDR therapy, I incorporate somatic and mindfulness-based practices that support nervous-system regulation and help facilitate deeper, more efficient healing.
