Hello, I'm Mollie! If you feel like your past is a constant hurdle in your present and you're eager for positive change, you've come to the right place. I specialize in working with individuals to rediscover hope even in the most challenging circumstances. Together, we'll pinpoint the barriers hindering your progress and confront them directly. My approach is holistic, addressing the mind, body, and spirit. I blend Biblical principles, mindfulness, and trauma therapy to provide a comprehensive and tailored solution. Whether you're wrestling with feelings of failure, self-harm, relationship challenges, intimacy issues, or the trauma of past abuse, I'm here to assist you in discovering hope and answers for moving forward. Taking the initiative to open up to someone new can be intimidating, but it's a commendable first step. In our sessions, expect a judgment-free zone where you'll encounter a variety of techniques tailored to suit you and your specific needs. Your journey toward healing is important, and I'm committed to providing the support and tools necessary for your progress.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial session, we'll start by introducing ourselves and discussing your goals for counseling. I may ask several questions, but please feel free to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable. We'll also handle any necessary paperwork, and this will provide us with an opportunity to get to know each other better in the process. Your comfort and openness are my priority as we embark on this counseling journey together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths stem from my extensive experience working with survivors of sexual trauma and human trafficking. I specialize in helping individuals navigate the lasting impact of past traumatic memories, guiding them toward a journey of healing and rediscovering their ability to be fully present in the moment. Transparency is a cornerstone of my approach—I am honest and forthcoming, recognizing the importance of building trust in our therapeutic relationship. In every session, I bring a spirit of prayer, trusting that God can work through me to support your path to wholeness.

Daialectical Behavior (DBT)
Having worked on a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) team at a community mental health agency for approximately three years, I have incorporated the valuable skills, diary cards, and mindfulness concepts into my ongoing individual counseling sessions. The principles of DBT continue to inform my approach, enriching the therapeutic experience and providing clients with practical tools for managing emotions and fostering overall well-being.
Christian Counseling
Living a Christian life holds immense significance for me, and I've witnessed the transformative power of God in healing the deepest wounds of trauma. In my counseling sessions, I prioritize incorporating Biblical truths, recognizing the profound impact faith can have on one's journey to recovery. I am committed to challenging individuals to contemplate and strengthen their beliefs, fostering a holistic approach that integrates faith and counseling for comprehensive healing.
Trauma Informed Care
Throughout my years of working with survivors of sexual assault, human trafficking, and various traumas, I've come to recognize the profound diversity in each person's journey. I understand that every individual carries a unique and deeply personal story, shaping their perspective on the world. This awareness underscores the importance of approaching each survivor with sensitivity and a tailored understanding, acknowledging the individuality of their experiences and the significance of their distinct narratives.
