Meet Molly

I have clinical experience in working with individuals affected by cancer, life altering diagnosis, and loss. I also specialize in anxiety, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Not knowing where to begin can be quite scary and overwhelming. You may not know what’s next, but you desire a sense of calm and direction. I want to acknowledge how brave it is to take that first step in your search for a therapist. I strive to create a safe space for individuals where there is trust, acceptance, and empowerment. I believe in the power of feeling heard and seen, and I am committed to the idea that every person's strength can and will be the catalyst in finding hope and healing. Each client will be met where they are at in session, and I will work collaboratively with you in identifying ways and coping mechanisms to move forward. My counseling approach is unique to your situation and developed from a mix of cognitive behavioral, strengths-based, and relational modalities.

I believe in the power of feeling heard and seen, and I am committed to the idea that every person's strength can and will be the catalyst in finding hope and healing.
