I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to supporting your mental health and well-being through compassionate, evidence-based care. I work with individuals to diagnose and treat a range of mental health conditions, offering personalized treatment plans that include therapy, medication management, and lifestyle guidance. I aim to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered in your healing journey.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming environment where we’ll take time to get to know each other. I’ll ask about your current concerns, mental health history, medical background, and any goals you have for treatment. This session is all about understanding your unique story so I can develop a personalized care plan that fits your needs. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions, share any concerns, and discuss treatment options—including therapy, medication, or both—at your own pace.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths as a psychiatric nurse practitioner are empathy, active listening, and a holistic approach to care. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly heard and supported. I'm skilled at blending clinical knowledge with compassion, which helps me tailor treatment plans that honor each person's unique needs and preferences. I'm also committed to ongoing learning, ensuring that the care I provide is grounded in the latest evidence and best practices.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I’m best positioned to serve clients who are navigating Substance use disorder, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related challenges, or life transitions. I work especially well with individuals who value a collaborative, holistic approach to mental health—those open to combining therapy, medication management, and practical coping strategies. Whether you're seeking support for the first time or looking for more tailored, ongoing care, I provide a nonjudgmental space where your experiences are respected and your goals are prioritized.

Working with Miriam has been such an empowering experience. She feels truly authentic, and made it easier for me to open up and feel heard. She created a plan to support my progress. Hearing her words of encouragement has meant more than I can put into words. It’s incredibly comforting to know I have someone like Miriam as part of my care team. I feel supported, understood, and more hopeful about my path forward because of her.
