REAL wellness is about holistic well-being, wellness that is Relational, Emotional, Applicable and Learnable. This is why Miriam created REAL Wellness Christian Counseling. She sees firsthand how tired people are of coming to therapy week after week only to continue in the same, destructive patterns. She is passionate about working out this kind of wholeness through practical, action-oriented steps. 

As a Gottman trained marriage counselor, Miriam believes that the dysfunctional patterns that plague relationships can change. Many people are stuck playing out bad scripts in their relationships. Change means learning new and healthy scripts and behaviors and implementing these little things often. 

Most importantly, Miriam believes that real, lasting change comes from a meaningful relationship with the Lord. She believes that because God is a relational God, He uses the crucible of relationships to bring out sin and dysfunction in people as well as beauty and wholeness. She has seen the power of God’s redemptive work in her life and is honored to walk alongside others as they experience God’s redemption and healing in their lives. She is confident that God has called her to comfort others with the comfort that she has received from Him (2 Corinthians 1:4).
