Couples and Individual Therapist
Minneapolis and nearby areas
Couples therapy grounded in the Gottman Method.
Healing and trauma resolution.
Support navigating family issues.
Hey there,I’m Meriam. I am a marriage and family therapist, based in Minneapolis.
I'm most passionate about helping people make sense of the complicated parts of life—like healing from past wounds, or navigating relationships. My goal is to help you understand what’s holding you back, and equip you with the tools you need to move forward and build a life that you love.
My specialties and training: I have specialized training in couples counseling subsequent to a masters in marriage and family therapy. The Bader-Pearson Developmental Couples Counseling Model is the main model I work from (although I use Gottman’s method as our foundation). I also work with individuals with concerns related to PTSD, complex trauma, relational issues, anxiety, and difficult life transitions/adjustments. I have specialized training in Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), and experience using Internal Family Systems (IFS) for gentle trauma resolution.
My approach to therapy is a compassionate one. I hold a non-judgmental, collaborative, culturally sensitive, kind, and humorous space for healing and growth. And, I genuinely care about you.
