Integrative Trauma Therapy

EMDR, Somatic & Psychedelic-Assisted Care

Are you ready to go deeper?

I'm Miriam, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and a woman of mixed ancestry. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds — and I’m especially attuned to the needs of women, BIPOC clients, seekers, creatives, and sensitive souls who may feel they’ve outgrown old coping strategies.

With warmth, realness, and humor, I offer therapy that’s as deep as it is practical. I use trauma-informed methods like EMDR, somatic therapy, expressive arts, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychedelic Therapy and Integration to help you access the healing that lives inside of you.

I provide trauma-focused psychotherapy for adults in Petaluma and San Rafael, California, integrating EMDR, relational somatic therapy, expressive arts, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy when appropriate. I also offer online therapy throughout California and provide psychotherapy in both English and Spanish.

My work supports adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship and attachment patterns, emotional overwhelm, and a sense of disconnection from themselves or their bodies.

My Integrative Approach

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, spiritual crisis, life transitions, and recovery from neglect, abuse, or emotional overwhelm. My style is collaborative and culturally respectful — weaving together relational care, nervous system work (polyvagal), dreamwork, guided imagery, and expressive healing tailored to your unique background, ancestry, and needs. My integrative approach may include relational and somatic psychotherapy, EMDR, IFS-informed parts work, Expressive Arts Therapy, Sand Tray, TIST, trauma-informed care, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and integration when appropriate.

A Collaborative Process

I see therapy as a collaborative process. You bring your lived experience, values, wisdom, curiosity, and knowledge of yourself. I bring my clinical training, experience, compassion, curiosity, and perspective.

Together, we explore what feels most supportive and meaningful for you. Rather than applying techniques automatically, I draw from different approaches according to your needs, goals, and what emerges in our work.

Consent, respect, and cultural humility are central to this process. I invite rather than impose, and we can continually pay attention to what feels supportive, what does not, and how the therapeutic process can best honor your boundaries, identities, values, and lived experience.

Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

There is no single path through therapy. Your history, relationships, cultural background, identities, strengths, and life experiences all shape what you may need from the therapeutic process.

Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, I draw from different therapeutic modalities to create a process that responds to you as a whole person—your mind, body, emotions, relationships, creativity, and inner world.

Working with Expanded States for Deeper Healing

Healing doesn’t always happen through conversation alone. I may incorporate practices such as guided imagery, music, dreamwork, somatic approaches, and expressive arts to support different ways of exploring emotions, patterns, body sensations, images, and experiences.

For clients engaging in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy or integration, expanded states may offer another way of approaching material that can sometimes feel difficult to access through conversation alone. My approach emphasizes preparation, integration, harm reduction, and respect for each person’s individual experience.

In-Person & Online Support Across California

I offer therapy in San Rafael (Marin County) and Petaluma (Sonoma County) and via telehealth across California. I provide bilingual services (English & Spanish) and welcome clients of all identities. I also offer a number of reduced fee spots and can provide Superbills for out-of-network insurance reimbursement.
