j.miro therapy

Hi! Thank you for taking a moment to learn about what I do and how I can help you. My approach is informed by over 12 years of experience in community mental health and psychotherapy. I primarily utilize trauma-responsive practices such as mindfulness, cognitive processing, somatic therapy, emotional regulation strategies, and psychodynamic theory to get to the root of your pain and help you transform into a healthier, more authentic version of yourself.  

Areas of focus include anxiety & depression, relationship issues, life transitions, body image, hormonal changes and chronic pain.  An essential part of my work is helping people sustain the motivation to change and connect with their existing and sometimes hidden inner resources and strengths.  

I have a master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. I have also worked as a Behavioral Health Director at a Community Clinic in Los Angeles and as a Mindfulness Meditation facilitator in private and public settings with groups and individuals. 

I love to bring lightness and warmth to my work.  I find spontaneity builds connection and a sense of ease to a process that can often feel fabricated.
