Therapy services for women
Care for what began then and what you need now.
My practice centers on childhood trauma, inner-child work, and the mother wound. There is also space for anxiety, depression, self-worth, relationship patterns, and chronic pain, wherever your story begins.
Core specialties
01Childhood trauma therapy
Early experiences can still feel close in adult life. Miriam supports women navigating childhood trauma, self-doubt, and relationship patterns with care that respects their pace.
02Inner-child work
A space for adult women to explore unmet childhood needs, the mother wound, and the feeling that love or approval has to be earned.
03Low self-esteem therapy
You keep achieving, helping, and showing up, but it still feels like you are not enough. Therapy offers room to understand self-doubt and practice a sense of worth that is less dependent on approval.
04Anxiety therapy
When worry, tension, or a constantly busy mind begins to shape your days, therapy can offer a private place to slow down and understand what is happening.
05Depression therapy
Depression can make connection, motivation, and hope feel distant. A thoughtful therapeutic relationship can create room to be met without judgment while you begin to make sense of what you are carrying.
06Couples therapy
Relationships can hold love and hurt at the same time. Couples therapy creates a structured space to slow recurring patterns down, hear one another more clearly, and decide what needs care.
07Therapy group
Group therapy can offer a different kind of support: a facilitated space to reflect, practice, and be witnessed alongside people working through related experiences.
Related concerns I work with
Patterns that often trace back to childhood.
These pages go deeper into specific experiences women bring to therapy. Each connects to the core work on childhood wounds and self-worth.
Mother wound therapy
A complicated relationship with your mother can shape how you see yourself long after childhood. Therapy offers room to understand it without being asked to blame, confront, or forgive anyone.
When yes is the only safe answerPeople-pleasing therapy
You anticipate everyone’s needs, apologize reflexively, and feel guilty the moment you consider saying no. Therapy can help you understand where that began and practice a different way of relating.
When enough is never enoughPerfectionism therapy
You hold yourself to standards you would never impose on anyone else, and meeting them brings relief rather than pride. Therapy offers a place to understand where that pressure began.
When you were cared for but not seenTherapy for adults who grew up with emotionally unavailable parents
Your needs were met on paper. You still grew up feeling alone. Therapy can help you understand that gap and learn to recognize and voice what you need now.
When it was not one eventComplex trauma therapy
Some trauma is not a single moment but a childhood. Therapy for complex trauma honors that difference and moves at the pace your nervous system can hold.
How you learned to loveAttachment patterns in relationships
If closeness makes you anxious, or distance feels safer than being known, those reactions were learned. Therapy can help you understand them and relate in ways that feel more secure.
Care for the whole experience of painChronic pain therapy
Chronic pain affects more than the body. Therapy offers support for the frustration, isolation, and exhaustion that come with it, alongside tools for calming a nervous system on high alert.
IFS, inner-child work & somatic awareness
Different ways to understand what you carry.
Miriam is trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR. IFS makes room for different parts of your inner experience, including the parts that learned to protect you. EMDR offers a structured way to work with distressing childhood memories once safety is in place.
Inner-child work, somatic awareness, and practical boundary work may also be part of care. You and Miriam decide what fits your needs, with time for questions, preparation, and trust.
