About Miri

Picture
Hello. As a licensed marriage and family therapist associate with a focus on sex and intimacy therapy, I am dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of their relationships and enhance their emotional and physical connections. I believe that healthy relationships are built on open communication, trust, and mutual respect, and my therapeutic approach reflects this belief.

I am passionate about creating a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their feelings and concerns related to sex and intimacy. I understand that these topics can be sensitive and often carry negative societal messaging, which is why I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of shame or embarrassment.

I enjoy working with individuals and partnered relationships, and address a wide ranges of issues including,  but not limited to:
  • Intimacy concerns: Helping individuals and couples rediscover emotional and physical intimacy, addressing emotional distance, and fostering connection.
  • Sexual dysfunction: Working with clients to address issues such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and pain during intercourse.
  • Communication: Assisting clients in developing effective communication skills around sexual desires, boundaries, and needs.
  • Sexual identity and orientation: Supporting clients as they explore and embrace their sexual identities and orientations.
  • Healing from trauma: Assisting individuals and couples in processing and healing from sexual trauma or past negative sexual experiences.
  • Infidelity and trust issues: Helping couples rebuild trust after infidelity and navigate the challenges of repairing their relationship.
  • ​Desire discrepancy: Supporting couples experiencing differences in their levels of sexual desire and finding ways to bridge the gap.
  • Body image and self-esteem: Addressing how body image issues can impact sexual confidence and overall well-being.
In my sessions, I utilize evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Gottman Theory, person-centered,  and mindfulness practices. I tailor my approach to each client's unique needs and circumstances, recognizing that no two individuals or couples are the same.

My ultimate goal is to empower my clients to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their partners, cultivate meaningful connections, and experience greater satisfaction and fulfillment in their relationships and sexual lives. As a dedicated and compassionate therapist, I am committed to supporting my clients on their journey towards a more fulfilling and satisfying intimate life.

I am happy to have a 15 minute free consultation to determine if I may be a good fit for your therapeutic needs.  


Note: An associate license in the state of WA, means I am under the supervision of a licensed therapist, as I continue to pursue full licensure with the state.
