Hi! I’m Molly and have nearly two decades of experience working with children and families, I bring a diverse background that includes volunteering with CASA, teaching, nannying, and consulting on child and adolescent development. Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences that anyone can go through. Grieving is a natural and necessary process that helps individuals process their emotions and come to terms with their loss. However, despite its universality, grief is often misunderstood and stigmatized in society; similar things can be said for those that have experienced trauma or who are living with chronic pain.
My approach to therapy is holistic, meaning I focus on you as a whole person, considering the systems you grew up in, the systems you live in now, and how these affect your daily struggles. Together, we’ll work on finding tools to ease those daily burdens and empower you to use them both in and out of our sessions.
Having personally experienced the loss of loved ones, trauma, and chronic pain, I understand the isolation and challenges they can bring. I’m here to offer compassionate, understanding support. I currently have openings for virtual sessions on Wednesdays and in person on Thursday mornings. Reach out today to learn more!
