I am trauma informed and use mindfulness and some simple CBT tools.
Life can be uncertain. We get hurt, confused, misunderstood. People we count on aren’t always there for us even if we reach out. Some of us de-stress with connection, some by being alone. This difference can leave us feeling abandoned or overwhelmed. Curiosity about ourselves helps us become more resilient, self aware, & relational. But not all problems get solved by random talking. My tools help you get unstuck and deepen your sense of intimacy with yourself and others. Your 1st time in therapy? We can make it comfortable and productive. Check out the articles I've published in Psychology Today and call for a no obligation consult.

It's okay not to feel okay. If you grew up in a damaging environment, you had to develop ingenious ways of surviving. Enduring your childhood is proof of your strength and resilience. However, you're no longer that child and feel just surviving isn't enough, but the past won't let you move on—your suffering is not your fault. What helped you in the past may now be hindering your growth. It's time to rewrite your narrative. Join me, and together, we will give voice to the parts of you that have been shamed, hidden, and denied. We can't undo the past's grave injustices, but we can take away their power.

I am deeply committed to helping clients not only feel supported and understood, but also find better ways to manage and overcome anxiety, depression, self-worth, and relationship issues. Having spent a great deal of time discovering my own personal values and meaning in life, I work to help clients connect with their true selves and navigate existential concerns. It is through my own personal journey with overcoming self-doubt, low confidence, and anxiety that I am drawn to the practice of psychotherapy. I understand how draining and consuming it can be when we get caught up in our problematic thoughts and feelings.

My practice centers on connections - to our bodies, ourselves & others - on intimacy within relationships & to sex, sexuality, gender & money. I explore this in an empathic & non-judgmental way, in order to help you feel safe & comfortable talking about these parts of yourself, your life & in your relationship. We will explore feelings, memories, thoughts, sensations & experiences you have.

"A difficult life is not less worth living than a gentle one. Joy is simply easier to carry than sorrow." This quote from poet Andrea Gibson perfectly captures my approach to working with other humans. I am a firm believer that therapists are not experts, but people trained and devoted to safely sharing the burden of bearing sorrow, grief, and emotional wounds. It may seem impossible to find meaning in the context of the experiences you have lived, but together we can breathe through it all and find a way to continue moving through life.

Hi there, I'm Molly! I help all kinds of humans (18+) navigate the ups and downs of life. Often, my clients are struggling with depression, anxiety, difficulties within relationships (like conflict, codependency, and people pleasing), and difficulties measuring up to the rigid and unrealistic expectations of the world and systems we live in (leaving them with a deep sense of shame and unworthiness). Simply existing as a human can be really hard somedays, let alone doing all of the things that come with human-ing.

Psychotherapy can help when: a life issue causes heartache, you want to improve yourself in some way, or life has become unbearable as it is. Meaningful progress will come from the relationship we will develop, including feeling understood as a unique individual. Feeling accepted for all that you are - both successes and failures - enables you to look at hard-to-face places about yourself, and discover new perspectives. A stronger sense of yourself will develop, and you will make clearer decisions that are right for your particular life. You will come to see yourself differently, and others will experience you differently.
