'm Miranda, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in working with individuals going through life transitions (becoming parent, job changes, graduating college) and families touched by adoption, including birth parents, adoptive parents, and adoptees. I bring experience from both the clinical side and the child welfare world, and I love helping people of all ages feel seen and supported.

My approach is compassionate, creative, and rooted in evidence-based care. I often draw from trauma-informed modalities like Narrative Exposure Therapy and Brainspotting, as well as practical, present-focused approaches like Solution Focused Therapy and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. I am in the process of becoming certified with DBT.
