Hi, I’m Miranda.
I believe that struggle—while painful—can be a powerful doorway to transformation.
As a therapist I’ve been described as thoughtful and warm, yet direct. I focus on creating a balance between deep listening and an active, engaged approach to exploring your thoughts and emotions. Sessions are both structured and flexible, offering a clear sense of direction while leaving space for open, collaborative exploration. This allows us to move at a pace that feels right for you, while still keeping the work grounded and purposeful.
I approach therapy through a wellness model that sees you as a whole person—not a diagnosis. My work blends both Western and Eastern approaches, with the flexibility to utilize several different methods to meet your unique needs.
As an HSP, I understand what it’s like to crave depth and feel overwhelmed in a world that often feels too loud. I specialize in working with highly sensitive adults who want to improve their self-esteem, manage emotional intensity, and feel more grounded in themselves.
I’m human, just like you.
I love nothing more than cozy rainy days curled up with a good book. So much so that I have to remind myself to not retreat too far inward. I’m a devoted cat mom and a lucky aunt to two beautiful boys. I lift weights and have too many (fleeting) interests to count. I sing in the shower and am a sucker for poetry. I laugh often and I too sometimes struggle to regulate.
Mostly, I truly love the work I do as a therapist. I consider it a privilege to hold your story and witness your growth.
