Hi, I’m Miriam. I’m a bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and practical support. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds in both school and correctional settings.
My counseling approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care. I work collaboratively with clients to help them manage anxiety, stress, behavioral concerns, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow.
As someone who has worked extensively with underserved and high-risk populations, I understand the importance of meeting clients where they are and tailoring treatment to their unique experiences and goals. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply seeking personal growth, I am committed to supporting you through your healing journey.
I believe therapy should feel supportive, authentic, and encouraging. Together, we can build healthy coping skills, strengthen resilience, and work toward meaningful change at your pace.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
