Hi, I'm Molly! I am a trauma therapist supporting my clients in navigating challenges around childhood wounds, relationships, identity, and more. I am particularly passionate about working with women seeking a better sense of empowerment and confidence.

I believe the power of therapy is held in the quality of the relationship we develop. I am not a "blank slate" therapist; I believe authenticity is crucial to creating true trust and safety. I practice my own authenticity by doing things like making jokes with you, sharing pictures of my pets, or talking about the music you're listening to.

I help ambitious adults who feel plateaued or stuck in their work, relationships, healing or personal growth. On the surface life may look solid, yet anxiety lingers, relationships feel strained, or old patterns keep showing up when they try to move forward in their work, relationships, or personal growth. You understand yourself intellectually, but the deeper patterns still feel outside your control. Often the coping strategies that once propelled you forward are now the very things holding you back. You may even know exactly what needs to change, yet still find yourself repeating the same reactions when pressure rises.
