She loves to use creativity, spontaneity and humor (a must!) in her sessions.

Molly will also use art as way to help kids express their feelings in sessions. She believes that therapy is different with each client and uses the client’s unique personality to determine what modalities to use in session. Molly strongly believes in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and gives her client’s a safe, nonjudgmental space so her clients can process their pain and fears.

Molly believes that we all have the power within ourselves to live happy healthy lives. My job is to help guide you and help you find that strength you have within yourself. Too many times in our society we have shame and guilt that is stopping us from being our true happy selves. Sometimes we just need a little help to get through the stress of life.

Molly’s services include: Individual therapy, Play therapy, teletherapy and in-home if necessary for younger clients as well as specialty groups.
