Molly is passionate about helping clients improve their ability to recognize and express their own needs, improve communication, and empower themselves and their loved ones to live a more full and satisfying life.

In sessions, Molly creates a comfortable, safe atmosphere where clients of all ages can explore the challenges they are facing.  She uses a combination of techniques, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, narrative, strength-based, expressive and play therapies, and client-centered techniques to meet her clients where they are and walk with them through the process of creating positive change.
