Mariam is a fantastic therapist. I feel very fortunate to have her as my therapist as she is super response, so supportive and truly understands me and my perspective. I’ve had several therapists in the past and Mariam knocks them all out of the park.

Miriam is great. She is a great listener and in the short time that I have spoken with her I really feel like I have found a great therapist. I love her approach and the environment that she creates during sessions. I feel safe and heard and motivated. I would highly recommend her.
