A Note from Molly:

Many of us move through life with the quiet sense that we should have things figured out by now. Whether you're navigating college, a new relationship, career uncertainty, family expectations, questions about identity, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can offer a space to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and reconnect with yourself.

My path to becoming a therapist began with a fascination with people's stories and the ways our relationships, communities, and experiences shape who we are. During my clinical training in New York City, I worked with veterans and in a college counseling center, experiences that deepened my understanding of emerging adulthood and the importance of having a space to explore both struggle and growth without judgment.

I work with adolescents (16+), college students, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity exploration, sexuality, and major life transitions. I also have experience working with veterans and trauma survivors. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist and strive to create a space where all clients can show up fully as themselves.

I believe therapy isn't about becoming someone different. It's about developing a deeper understanding of yourself, your patterns, your relationships, and what you want for your life.

My Approach:

My approach is warm, collaborative, and relational. My clinical foundation is psychodynamic and attachment-based, shaped by my training at the William Alanson White Institute. I strive to create a therapy space that feels conversational, curious, and grounded in genuine connection. I tend to be an active therapist, asking questions, sharing observations, and gently challenging patterns when it feels helpful, while always holding you as the expert on your own experience. I value authenticity in the therapy room, which often means making space for both difficult conversations and moments of joy and humor.

I integrate CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness-based practices depending on what feels most helpful. Our work may focus on building practical coping strategies, strengthening emotional regulation, increasing self-awareness, or navigating interpersonal challenges. I bring a trauma-informed lens to all of my work, with the goal of creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and in control of the process.

Together, we may explore recurring relationship patterns, difficult emotions, questions about intimacy and sexuality, perfectionism, or the challenges of life transitions. You are the expert on your own experience; my role is to offer clinical expertise, thoughtful guidance, and compassionate support as we work toward the life and relationships you want.
