Life can feel really overwhelming sometimes. Maybe you haven’t felt like yourself lately, or you’re more stressed and anxious than usual. The pressures of work, school, relationships, & life changes can weigh on us. If you’re feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward, therapy can provide a safe space to explore options and gain knowledge. My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental, with the aim to help clients feel seen and heard.

I understand that coming to therapy for the first time can feel uncomfortable. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to explore difficulties and build resilience. I embrace the experiences and differences that each individual brings and demonstrate compassion and respect for every client.

I often see clients on the autism spectrum or who identify as neurodiverse. I also work with clients who have ADHD and can provide both mental health therapy and executive function coaching.

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety, OCD, ADHD, depression, self-harm, trauma, and life transitions.

A complex and/or unexpected transition in career, relationships (e.g., romantic, familial, adult friendships), your faith or religious identity, gender or sexuality, geographic moves, grief/loss, or other confusing crossroads?

Accepting new clients! Immediate openings in evenings and afternoons both in-person and via telehealth. Hi! My name is Molly and I’m an intern at Anchor Counseling Centers. I’m pursuing my master’s in clinical mental health counseling at Hood College. While pursuing my master’s, I have obtained my certification in Thanatology, the study of death and loss, from Hood College. I have a deep interest in working with clients who are experiencing grief and navigating difficult life transitions, such as career transitions, parenthood, and learning to “adult”.

In today’s world it is easy to feel disconnected and overstimulated. Whether it be from work, school, kids, friends, family, or romantic partners. You might often feel the overwhelming pressure to “have it all.” My goal as a therapist is to help you navigate and process your unique experiences free from judgement and centered around trust. I use a trauma informed, strengths-based approach tailored to your individual needs. I value helping you find meaningful connection within the world around you- and more importantly within yourself.

I work with clients across the lifespan (ages 5-70+). I started my career working with children and adolescents. Over the course of the last 20+ years, I expanded my experience to work with young adults, adults, and older adults. Through therapy, my goal is to help you with life's many problems, while finding ways to manage stressors and cope adaptively in any situation.

You’re struggling to overcome feelings of shock after an extremely stressful event. You’re experiencing unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, relationship difficulties, or even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea. You feel sad & unmotivated about the future.

You want to connect with others but you think its better to avoid situations that cause any anxiety. You find yourself worrying about different topics, events or activities. You’re trying to heal from the things that are causing pain!

All people deserve to be valued, no matter their age, ability, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. They should also have the freedom to choose how they experience life. There is no one perfect way to live. People come to therapy with various life experiences and levels of understanding, that is why there is not a one size fits all approach. Your journey is your own. As your therapist, my goal is to provide you with a safe, affirming, and empowering space. This means that I will treat you with unconditional positive regard, congruence and empathy. I believe that every person deserves these things on a human level.

With over 30 years of clinical experience, I utilize CBT, imagery/relaxation, mindfulness/meditation, role play, play therapy and expressive therapies to address the challenges that children, adolescents and adults face. Therapeutic goals of clients may include increasing self-esteem, improving self-expression, decreasing anxiety, improving self/other awareness, increasing attention span, improving self-control, increasing frustration tolerance, improving anger management, decreasing teasing/bullying, and improving interpersonal relating skills. Clients develop coping mechanisms for high stress, low mood and/or poor communication.

Whether it’s your first time or you’ve been in therapy before, I’m glad you’re here! My hope is to create a safe, encouraging and oftentimes silly and sarcastic environment to partner with you in the next step of your story. I’m a licensed certified social worker - clinical and a psychotherapist. My time working as a psychotherapist in schools and the surrounding community has led me to become passionate in addressing and advocating for a person's needs and strengths. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults and families to address a wide variety of concerns including life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem.

My experience as a teacher and professional school counselor, allows for an increased understanding of school related challenges and needs, such as: ADHD, emotional and behavioral difficulties, stress, anxiety, emotional regulation, social and friendship skills, self-esteem, nutrition and body image, grief and loss, divorce and family changes and confidence building. Helping children understand and accept themselves is the first step to making positive changes.

I love helping people feel heard, understood, and seen through a compassionate and empathic approach to therapy. I work with a broad range of people, from elementary schoolers to adults. I love working with kids, teens, young adults, and women. I have experience working in a crisis center, schools, and private practice, and approach my work through a trauma-informed lens. I have supported people who have experienced trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault, unexpected crisis, chronic health problems, grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, parenting issues, problems at school, and problems with emotion regulation.

People of all ages come to me-sometimes they feel "stuck" in a routine or they're feeling like they just don't fit in. Parents often come to me for help with understanding their child and learning ways to connect with them. I work with children with big feelings, teenagers who are trying to figure out where they fit in the world, and adults who are looking for a fun, unique approach to therapy.
