Hi, I’m Miranda. I am SO glad you’re here.

I am a queer & neurodivergent licensed therapist and clinical supervisor. I started Wakerobin & Vine to create a space for folks to land amidst the messiness of life. No matter what your mess may look like, you (and it) are welcome here. I have spent a lot of my life feeling like I needed to make myself, my emotions and thoughts, my physical size, and my self expression smaller to be accepted. Breaking out of that and moving into radical self-acceptance opened doors to understanding myself and the world around me in an abundance of new ways.

Therapy, to me, isn’t about fixing anything (including you). Part of the mess of being human is feeling our way through big emotions and hard experiences. There are likely many things you have thoughts about changing. This can be true and it is also true that you are not a problem that needs to be solved.

Co-creating space for who you are and who you want to be is vital to seeing progress in therapy. Sessions with me are centered around understanding what you want your life to look like, what you believe it looks like now, and how you feel about and experience whatever gap is in between. This might look like:

  • You’re doing your best and the world feels like it’s on fire and WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING?!

  • The politics of existing every day life feel overwhelming, and have for a while

  • Your emotions feel all over the place and you just want to be able to relax and stop fighting with your family

  • You don’t feel really clear on who you are right now or what your values are [or even, you know exactly those things and are not surrounded by people that support it or you]

  • Your emotions get so big that it’s hard for you to not think about doing anything possible to get away from them, including having a hard time feeling like you can keep yourself safe and out of harm’s way

  • The situations or circumstances that feel the worst are out of your control

  • Your past experiences feel like they are taking over your present life

  • You can imagine the future, relationships, and life that you want, but feel like you have no path to get there

  • It feels like you go in circles in your important relationships without feeling understood or heard

  • You know that the things you do to take care of big emotions in the short-term are not helpful to you in the long-term but they just keep happening

Your story matters. At Wakerobin & Vine, your body, your voice, your needs, and your experiences all have a place here.

Let’s build what you want, together.
