My ideal client is someone who is ready to make a change even if they aren’t sure how. I work with many clients who struggle with all types of trauma, mood disorders, neurodivergence and often a combination of these traits. I often work with my clients to help them set attainable goals and break down complex situations piece by piece. I also strive to make a safe space for LGBTQ+ and encourage expressions of all gender identities and sexualities. Vulnerability is key to healing and I welcome anyone who is ready to begin and honest conversation about their goals.

Hi, I'm Mariam :) I’m a neurodiverse therapist who is Amazigh (Indigenous Moroccan)‐American and grew up overseas. I work with folks of all backgrounds, and have extensive experience working with and within LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and neurodiverse communities.

I specialize in helping adults build a more grounded and intentional life where they feel genuinely empowered. If you have been holding it together but feel stuck in overthinking, anxiety, or old patterns that impact your well‐being, it can be really tough.

Together, we will slow down, understand what is driving your stress, anxiety, and self-doubt, building practical tools you can use in daily life. My style is warm, direct, and grounded. I will be present and with you, ask thoughtful questions, and give feedback that is honest and clear.

I'm interested in helping you become your best, authentic self - whatever that looks like! Therapy is about relationships -- the relationship between therapist and client as well as the relationship the client has with themselves and others. My goal as a therapist is for you to feel seen, heard, and understood and to take that capacity and generalize it throughout your lived experience. As a therapist, I examine your memories, perceptions, and presence to paint a vibrant picture of who you are.
