Hi, I’m Miranda! I’m the owner of Balance & Bloom Therapy, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and probably the therapist who will laugh with you, challenge you when you need it, and celebrate every win—big or small.

I believe therapy shouldn’t feel stiff or intimidating. It should feel like sitting down with someone who genuinely gets you, asks the hard questions with kindness, and helps you build a life that feels better—not just one that looks good on the outside.

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, burnout, self-worth, and the beautifully messy realities of being human. My approach blends evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and IFS with real conversations, practical tools, and a healthy dose of humor. (Because sometimes healing involves crying… and sometimes it involves laughing at the fact that your brain decided 2:00 a.m. was the perfect time to replay that embarrassing thing you did in 2009.)

When I’m not in session, you’ll probably find me chasing my kids to dance, theater, speech, or tutoring, hanging out with my therapy dogs, creating mental health content on social media, or drinking way too much caffeine while convincing myself I’m definitely going to finish my to-do list today.

My goal is simple: to create a space where you don’t have to have it all together. You can show up exactly as you are, and we’ll figure out the rest together.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, exhausted, or just ready for something to change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Reaching out for support takes courage, and I'm glad you're here.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I work with children, teens, and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life's many transitions. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, and I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself while we work together toward meaningful change. I use evidence-based approaches including CBT, TF-CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to meet your unique needs.
My passion for counseling grew from my own experience of receiving occupational therapy as a child, which helped me succeed in school and sparked a lifelong fascination with the brain and the ways people grow, adapt, and heal. That experience continues to shape the empathy and encouragement I bring to every session.
When I'm not in the office, you'll likely find me spending time with family, watching football, listening to music, playing pool, or catching up on a favorite TV show.
Wherever you are in your journey, I'd be honored to help you build on your strengths, overcome challenges, and move toward the life you want.

Let’s be real: life is often messy, frequently exhausting, and occasionally a complete dumpster fire. If you’ve spent your time caregiving for others while you’re down to your last shirt and dying of thirst, or if you’re trying to deconstruct the impact of trauma, you know that "polite" therapy doesn't always cut it. My approach is as eclectic as it is honest—blending evidence-based practices like CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness with a little bit of intuition and a whole lot of saying the quiet parts out loud.
Through both my professional and personal journeys navigating caregiving and trauma recovery, I’ve built a practice that reflects my belief that therapy should be an authentically human space. With me, profanity is welcome (like the fun aunt at the dreaded family gathering), dark humor is a valid survival skill, and we don't have to pretend everything is perfect. I work exclusively through telehealth, which means we can dive into the deep stuff from the comfort of your own sanctuary—fuzzy socks and all. Let’s get to work.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Registered Play Therapist (RPT) with a passion for supporting children and their families through life's challenges. My therapeutic approach integrates attachment-based, trauma-informed, person-centered, and play therapy modalities to help children and caregivers strengthen relationships, navigate life's transitions, and build lasting emotional resilience. I also have a special interest in supporting parents during pregnancy, postpartum, and the early years of raising children, recognizing both the beauty and the challenges that come with those seasons of life.

I believe healing happens through genuine connection, and I hope every client leaves my office feeling heard, understood, and never alone. I strives to create a warm, authentic space where clients and their families feel safe, supported, and accepted as they work toward meaningful growth and healing.

When I'm not in the office, you'll likely find me spending time with family and friends, riding my motorcycle on a nice day, or loving on my four rescue dogs.
