I’m a down-to-earth therapist who ditches the stiff, formal clinical mask for real, human conversation. My ideal clients are everyday people-busy parents, overwhelmed professionals, and anyone feeling stuck, exhausted, or running on empty.

Now accepting new clients! Hi, I’m Molly and I help teens and adults (ages 15+) who feel emotionally overwhelmed or stuck find steadiness during grief, life changes, and hard seasons. I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, grief, low self esteem, trauma, or major transitions that leave them feeling unsure of themselves. Even when someone looks fine on the outside, it can feel isolating on the inside, and I care deeply about helping people make sense of what they are carrying.

Are there things you wish were different? Your energy level, relationships, outlook for the future? I help women navigate life's challenges: anxiety, depression, and unique transitions with parenting adult children - so you can feel more grounded, confident, and at peace. I believe real change happens when we slow down, look at the experiences that shaped us, and explore beliefs we carry about ourselves. From there, we can break free from old patterns and create a space for joy. This is your time, and we'll move at your pace. My style is supportive, caring, and non-judgmental, with a dash of humor to make the process feel lighter.

Do you ever leave a conversation and immediately start wondering if you said the wrong thing? Or avoid sending a message because you're not sure how it will come across? If your mind feels stuck on repeat—analyzing, worrying, or overthinking—you're not alone. Many clients come in feeling mentally overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, burnout, or pressure to get everything "right." I work with children (10+), teens, adults, and couples who want to feel less stuck in their thoughts and more steady day to day.

Too often I hear people say they’ve tried therapy, but “it didn’t work for me.” As someone who once shared this same sentiment then experienced therapy that truly "did work for me," I prioritize open, direct, and honest communication in every session to make sure I am meeting your needs as your therapeutic guide. If therapy hasn't worked for you before, my job is to help you figure out why so it can for you this time. I offer a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that’s solution-focused. My goal is that you learn to trust yourself, calm your inner chaos, and respond to life's challenges with clarity and confidence.

As a counselor specializing in high-functioning neurodivergent adults (including ADHD and autism profiles), I work with people who often appear capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, or mentally exhausted on the inside. Many of my clients are successful in work or relationships yet struggle with burnout, emotional regulation, overthinking, or feeling “different” in ways they can’t always explain. Therapy with me focuses on helping you understand your neurodivergent patterns without judgment, reduce overwhelm, and build strategies that actually fit how your nervous system works.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.

How is counseling for seniors and the elderly different from counseling for other age groups?
In general, counseling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialize in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counseling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.

How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.

What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counselors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counselors specializing in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counselors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
