About Mariam
She earned a PhD from Syracuse University and completed doctoral placements accredited by the American Psychological Association. Her internship was at the White River Junction VA and Dartmouth, followed by postgraduate work at the Loma Linda VA. These roles shaped her clinical focus and approach.
Mariam helps people coping with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship strain, and adjustment concerns. She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic approaches, among others, to help people name goals and notice change. She emphasizes practical steps clients can use between sessions.
She favors tracking progress so clients can see small gains and celebrate them. Positive psychology is part of her outlook; she encourages people to reconnect with strengths and meaningful activities as part of healing. Sessions aim to help people build a clearer relationship with themselves and with others.
Outside of work she spends time with her son and reads fantasy books to keep her imagination active. She also enjoys shows about body language and therapy and values the reminder of the inner child when supporting others.
