My training in Developmental Psychology, Infant Mental Health, and Clinical Neuropsychology, and my 30+ years experience, have taught me to put parents first, intervene early, and collaborate with medical doctors, developmental therapists, and schools for the strongest outcomes in these conditions.
My specialty is in treating infants and young children via their relationships with their caregivers. The play therapy model that I use is DIR/Floortime (sometimes called The Play Project).

We help new parents, young children, teens and adults to create healthier relationships and work together to navigate family conflict, life stressors, and adjustment to change.
We believe in supporting the entire family in therapy, whether all members attend sessions or not. Nobody exists in a vacuum. When one family member is struggling, it affects the entire family. That is why we believe in involving parents in their child or teen's treatment, and talking about how to help parents be on the same page as a couple and communicate.

My first job as a therapist is to listen and understand. Deep listening is a time honored tradition and fundamental to healing. I strive to create a safe and nurturing relationship with clients that is a source of comfort and inspiration. Clients inspire me too! I practice spiritually grounded psychotherapy. This means I see life's challenges as, fundamentally, opportunities to grow spiritually and as a whole person. To me, the process of healing is beautiful and miraculous, something that gives us glimpses of a benevolent force much greater than ourselves.

Hi there, I’m Molly and I’m currently accepting new clients. I’ve always been drawn to helping people untangle the thoughts and feelings that weigh them down, because I’ve seen how life can open up when you feel supported.
