Hi, I'm Miriam!

Licensed Social Worker & Therapist in Cedarhurst, NY

You are done feeling this way

…. the anxiety, the stuckness, the deep feeling that there is something more for you, but never feeling able to grasp it.

You are tired of feeling torn..

constantly, between who you want to be, what you want to do….and how you've been simply surviving all these years. 

No amount of self help books, yoga, talking to friends or trusted people in your life has made a difference. You can't talk to other people about what's happening in your relationships, the anxiety and dread you feel, because it's often when you are with them that these feelings arise.  

Anxiety and Relationship Trauma Therapist, Cedarhurst

I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma and ever changing relationships. In our Cedarhurst counseling office or virtually we will meet weekly to help you break the habits and patterns that keep you feeling stuck. Together we will unlock the energy and the possibilities that you have within you. 

We will go beyond thinking about what is happening and access your body for its innate wisdom through EMDR and Somatic Mindfulness techniques. We will connect your mind and body, finding room to release the pain, worry and overwhelm.

I am here to help you learn to trust yourself, feel comfortable in your own skin and discover what calm really feels like, maybe for the first time in a long time.

I know this process takes time, so step by step you will find new perspectives, become more aware of thoughts and feelings, building more tolerance within your system for the ebbs and flows of life.

As a guide and a fellow human who gets how hard life can be and also gets how much more whole you can feel, I am here to help you make the choices that align with your dreams, without fear or dread. My hope is that in our work together anxiety will no longer be a struggle, memories will no longer obscure your authentic self, your body will become your friend and you will see shifts in your relationship with yourself and others for the positive. 

 I’m a compassionate realist, and want to help your system learn there will be bumps, how to expect and navigate them and accept them versus trying to shove them away or pretending they don’t exist. I’m willing to go the distance with you, to sit with the nuances and unresolved pain, and stay curious + open to discover your path to healing together.

If you are ready to stop carrying the pain alone, book a consult to discover how psychotherapy can transform your life.
