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.

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.

Approaches you might use together online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety. It often includes homework tasks and clear goals so progress can be tracked.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal communication, and coping with distress. It is useful when strong emotions make it hard to keep relationships or daily routines steady.

Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation in small, manageable steps. It pairs well with other approaches when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying one approach for a while or combining techniques to fit a person’s life.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be scheduled to match your routine and commitments.
