LCSW, 14 years of experience
I am a licensed clinical social worker (since 1990) and health coach in Arizona. I help people to make small changes over time that add up to a happier, healthier, more fulfilling life. My own life experiences have included inherited trauma; infertility and adoption; parenting a high need child; homeschooling; and working in community mental health, private practice, foster care, schools, and home healthcare.
In the first session we will explore multiple aspects of your current life to create a plan for our work together.
Having worked with a people from ages 3-90 from a wide variety of backgrounds and circumstances, I am non-judgemental, down-to-earth, and supportive. I will validate your feelings, and gently encourage you towards healthier behaviors, always giving you the choice to make changes when and if they feel right for you.
I love working with people who are motivated to improve their situations but are not sure how to do so or why they are stuck and can't move forward with their goals. Previous clients have left these reviews of me: "I have been working with Miriam for about 6 months now, and she has helped me tremendously. She is kind, understanding, and works step by step to tackle my challenges in thoughtful ways. I've become more confident in my own abilities and relationships, and relieved some of my stress since starting our sessions. I highly recommend you start a session with her!" Written April 29, 2024 after therapy with Miriam for 7 months for depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career difficulties and ADHD. " Miriam has been a godsend. She has helped me so much in such a relatively short amount of time. She is highly skilled at what she does and is just a genuinely nice person. I'm so grateful to have found her." Written January 28, 2024 after therapy for 4 weeks for depression, stress, anxiety, and family conflicts.
