GET STARTED

Are we a good fit?

  • Adults only, individuals and couples

  • Relationship therapy

    Anxiety

    Trauma

    Sexual concerns

    Ethical non-monogamy/polyamory

    Addiction (those in recovery)

    EMDR therapy for trauma

  • Asking for help can be difficult, and I strive to create a comfortable environment that leads to deeper emotional processing and healing. I understand the importance of having an affirming space that feels open, non-judgmental, and genuine.

    It’s crucial to have a space where emotions are normalized and able to be discussed.

    I am dedicated to promoting sexual health conversations and cultivating an environment conducive to open and comfortable dialogue regarding difficult topics.

    I believe in a collaborative approach, where I work with each client to tailor the therapeutic environment to each individual’s unique needs, wants, and goals.

  • I love to work with individuals and couples struggling with sexual desire concerns, communication issues, and interpersonal challenges.

    I also have experience working with anxiety, trauma, conflict management, and individuals in recovery from addiction.

  • I utilize multiple evidence-based modalities within my approach, including Gottman Method for couples, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solutions-Focused, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

    My approach to therapy is informed by my training as a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional.

    I also work through a person-centered lens in order to focus on each client’s unique needs and goals within the therapeutic environment.

  • I am currently reading a book called The High-Conflict Couple: A Dialectical Behavior Therapy Guide to Finding Peace, Intimacy, and Validation by Alan E. Fruzzetti.

    I have completed Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) training and attend ongoing consultation for this modality.

Hey! I’m Molly.

PSYchotherapisT

I have three dogs (border collie/lab mix, husky/pit bull, and labrador), and I have plans to adopt a cat soon. I enjoy playing video games. A few of my favorites are Animal Crossing, Subnautica, and Ark. I also enjoy reading (mostly fiction) and have just started listening to audiobooks! I like watching movies and enjoy ones from the horror genre the most. I've gotten back into running recently and plan to run in a 5k soon.
