About Mariam
I am a qualified social worker and therapist bringing you over twenty years experience and a heart-centered, compassionate practice, in which we actively work together to meet your needs, whether you need help dealing with grief and loss, or with mental health issues, or simply need referrals for the basics – food, shelter, and medical care.
I offer a safe, calm space and a compassionate listening ear for you to work through whatever it is you’re facing in your life right now. Together we discern how best you can manage your circumstances, as well as discovering what you can learn from them on the deepest levels. I offer practical advice and resources, excellent counseling skills, and profound energy work to treat your whole being.

What clients say
- “Mariam is fantastic! I am so glad that I have the opportunity to take my healing journey with her! Mariam is very easy to open up and talk to, I have felt comfortable from day one and have shared things that I didn't think I would ever tell anyone. Mariam is very good at what she does and always has tools or suggestions on how to work through your trauma, triggers and I would recommend Mariam to anyone who needs a safe place to begin their journey to enlightenment as I like to call it.”
- “Miriam is an amazing marriage counselor. We are grateful!”
- “I’ve only had several sessions so far and feel much more progress than I have in the previous several months with another therapist. Extremely focused and good at moving things forward to resolutions, rather than just down the road.”

- “Amazing work, my time was short here because my relationship ended (not due to Mariam) she is biast and she thinks before she speaks.”
- “Amazing lady with great insight!”
- “Mariam creates a safe space unlike any other therapist I've ever experienced. A genuinely incredible listener, who takes time to understand what is beneath the surface and in the most non-jugemental way ever. Thank you Mariam for helping me understand myself more and mostly importantly, allow myself to grow into the person I was meant to be.. as she truly helped me get unstuck during a very complicated midlife crisis.”
