I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) specializing in adult and perinatal mental health, addressing symptoms of anxiety and depression, low frustration tolerance, social/emotional awareness & barriers to self-confidence. I have a background in government, non-profit, school, hospital, and clinical settings, performing child welfare investigations, school counseling, case management services, community outreach, and community referrals. With these experiences, I have honed my skills as a clinician. I draw my approach from the modalities of Cognitive-Behavioral, Psychodynamic, and Acceptance and Commitment therapies.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, reviewing practice policies and limits of confidentiality, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us create a personalized treatment plan to work through in follow-up sessions. I believe specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) treatment goals are crucial in creating sustainable change and creating a life you love.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked in many different capacities in the mental health field, I've honed my skills as a therapist and created a tried-and-true playbook for helping you identify the root cause of your challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with clients who are open to growth and change, accepting that it often comes with discomfort. I aim to walk alongside my clients as they work through accepting past hurts, addressing mental blocks, exploring forgiveness and accountability, as well as acknowledging their own role in suffering, while also moving forward and creating a reality they have dreamt of.

Molly is phenomenal; from day 1 I felt a warm, positive vibe and she has been nothing but helpful and real with me. I have taken ideas from our sessions and utilized them that same day into my life. She is relatable, authentic, and empathic. Highly recommend her to others!

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is a traditional, evidence-based approach to thought and behavior change. I use this methodology to assist my clients in becoming aware of irrational or negative thinking so they can see situations clearly, process them, and respond to them in healthy ways.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I utilize the principles of Acceptance and Commitment therapy to encourage my clients to embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them or feeling guilty about them. ACT techniques emphasize acceptance rather than avoidance.
