“Still, what I want in my life is to be willing to be dazzled.”
-Mary Oliver
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 is primarily grounded in Attachment Theory and Interpersonal Neurobiology, with the flexibility to utilize other methods to meet your unique needs. Guided by your goals, the work typically begins by understanding your unique patterns, and then moves into experiential work that supports real, lasting change.
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 deep thinkers and feelers who want to improve their relationships, 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 struggle to keep my houseplants alive. I sing in the shower and am a sucker for Romantic 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.
Therapy is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of methods and techniques. So what can you expect when working with me?
Each person is unique, and that means that not all therapeutic methods will be right for everyone. This is why I tend to work from a trauma-informed integrative approach that is informed by multiple theories and modalities.
This approach means that we will collaborate together to decide which methods will work best for you and your unique needs, utilizing both top-down (mind to body) and bottom-up (body to mind) as needed.
Because humans are naturally relational, you can very likely expect on our work together to look at key relationships and social and cultural ideologies and traditions that have shaped you and your story.
Theories & Modalities
-
Attachment Theory is an evidence-based framework that helps us understand how our early relationships shape the way we connect with others—and with ourselves. It’s not just about labels like “anxious” or “avoidant.” Modern attachment theory sees these patterns as flexible and shaped by our nervous system in real time. That means change is always possible.
-
IPNB is a brain-based, relational approach that helps us understand how our past experiences—especially in relationships—shape the way we think, feel, and connect with others. Developed by Dr. Dan Siegel, IPNB focuses on integration, or how different parts of the brain and self come together to support emotional well-being. In therapy, we use this understanding to gently rewire old patterns and create new, more connected ways of being
-
EFT is an evidence-based approach that helps you tune into your emotional world and reshape how you relate to yourself and others. EFT is grounded in attachment science and focuses on creating new emotional experiences that promote safety, connection, and healing.
In therapy, we’ll slow down and explore the emotions beneath your reactions—especially those tied to past attachment wounds. By bringing these emotions into awareness and processing them in a safe, supportive space, EFT helps rewire the brain’s response to connection and vulnerability. This isn’t just about insight—it’s about creating new, healing experiences that shift how you feel, think, and relate in real time.
-
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy meets somewhere in the crossroads of CBT and EFT and is similarly well supported by research. With this method we’ll focusing on acceptance of thoughts and emotions in the service of valued living.
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the most robust evidenced-based therapies available. With this method, we'll work together to identify thoughts that aren't serving you and learn new, healthier ways of thinking that can make a real difference in your life.
I intentionally keep my practice small so I can offer deeply personalized, attentive care to each person I work with.

I am committed to providing the most ethical and high-quality care to my clients that I can. To do this, I only practice within the scope of my expertise.
The following are some reasons I may refer you to providers with specialized care:

You are actively engaged in any court proceedings, including custody issues and divorce. It is my policy that I do not provide court testimony, either written or verbal.
