About Miriam
Her background includes a decade working in outpatient care with people managing substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. That experience shaped a direct, skills-focused style that mixes evidence-based methods. Miriam often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-informed and client-centered ways of working.
In sessions she helps people notice what matters to them, learn concrete coping skills, and make small changes that add up. She also addresses self-esteem, parenting struggles, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Conversations are aimed at building awareness and practical plans rather than long lists of abstract ideas.
Miriam draws on attachment perspectives when relationship or family history is important. She supports people dealing with abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin issues, helping them understand patterns and try new approaches. She also helps with forgiveness and repairing daily interactions.
Her work combines short-term problem solving with longer-term personal growth. People can expect straightforward feedback, tools to manage emotions, and steps to move toward clearer goals. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling.

How her approaches shape online care
Miriam commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match what matters to them, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like depression and worry.She also brings attachment-informed ideas to conversations about relationships and family patterns, helping people notice how early connections influence current reactions. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the person's needs rather than insisting on a single path.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking.
