More about Mariam
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that healing begins with connection. I use a relational approach to help clients uncover their inner strengths and build resilience. Rooted in family systems theory, my work recognizes that every person’s well-being is shaped by their relationships, environment, and cultural background.
My experience includes supporting children through school and emotional challenges, helping survivors of domestic abuse reclaim safety and self-worth, and guiding clients through trauma and self-esteem issues. I also provide culturally sensitive care that honors diverse values, identities, and faith-based perspectives.
I strive to create a warm, inclusive, and collaborative space where you can explore your emotions, strengthen your relationships, and move toward a life of clarity, balance, and peace.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
