More about Mariam

7 years' experience
Female
LMFT

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that healing begins with connection. I use a relational approach to help clients uncover their inner strengths and build resilience. Rooted in family systems theory, my work recognizes that every person’s well-being is shaped by their relationships, environment, and cultural background.

My experience includes supporting children through school and emotional challenges, helping survivors of domestic abuse reclaim safety and self-worth, and guiding clients through trauma and self-esteem issues. I also provide culturally sensitive care that honors diverse values, identities, and faith-based perspectives.

I strive to create a warm, inclusive, and collaborative space where you can explore your emotions, strengthen your relationships, and move toward a life of clarity, balance, and peace.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
