The work is collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort level. She also focuses on mood concerns, forgiveness, self-love, social anxiety and phobia. Miriam helps people break down big problems into small steps they can practice between meetings.
Her aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People who prefer a direct, compassionate approach may find her style helpful. She seeks to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space and to support clients as they build resilience and clearer ways of handling daily stressors.

This helps people who have strong emotional responses or who need gentle, step-by-step planning.
