Miryam works exclusively with young clients ages 0 to 10 alongside their caregivers. Miryam's goal in the therapy space is to show up for you as the caregiver in ways that empower and inspire you to show up for yourself and your loved ones. She is deeply invested in honoring your story, supporting you to make meaning of your experiences and to claim your power to co-create your present and future. She involves children through play therapy techniques, using toys, games, art, music, and movement, as well as mindfulness-based stress reduction, according to child and family goals and interests.
