I have been practicing as a trauma therapist, trainer, and consultant for the last 12 years. For much of my career, I specialized in working with kids and families who have experienced complex and intergenerational trauma, and specifically focused on infant and early childhood mental health.

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


Hi! I'm Molly. I love being a therapist and feel so honored to be trusted with the tender work of healing. I'm a licensed clinical social worker, which basically just means that I'm a therapist who looks at both the person and their relationship with their larger environment. I've worked with ages 1-70+, diagnoses across the board, and in a variety of settings - a psychiatric hospital, medical detox for substance use, community mental health, intensive outpatient, residential, and in-home. Maybe you've been in some of those settings yourself! Wherever your path has taken you, I'm happy to walk alongside you in this present chapter.

Therapist

If you’re looking for a therapist who will truly listen, validate your experience, and also be honest with you when you need a different perspective, you may be in the right place.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a trauma-focused approach and a genuine belief that healing happens when you feel both safe enough to be vulnerable and supported enough to grow. I work with a wide range of concerns, including women’s issues, sexual trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, sex and intimacy concerns, relationship challenges, shame, self-esteem, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with people who feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but can’t seem to change.

My path to becoming a counselor was personal and unconventional. After raising three children and building a career in government, I went back to school and began a new chapter in mental health. Starting over taught me something I now bring into my work with clients: you are not defined by where you’ve been, and it is never too late to create a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

Whether you’re recovering from trauma, struggling in your relationships, questioning your identity or direction, carrying shame from your past, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy can be a place to make sense of it all.

My goal is for you to leave therapy feeling more understood, more empowered, and more connected to yourself—not because I have all the answers, but because we’re figuring them out together.

Therapist

I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker that specializes in providing compassionate support to individuals navigating trauma, PTSD, intimate partner violence, depression, anxiety, and military/veteran support. My practice focuses on empowering clients aged 18 and above to heal and grow in a safe and supportive environment.

I received my Masters of Social Work with a specialization in Trauma and Interpersonal Violence from Simmons University in 2016 and achieved full clinical licensure in 2020. Through my experiences working with military members and their families, I have learned the importance of a holistic approach to therapy, focusing not just on symptom management, but also on addressing the root cause, and helping clients build skills that can be used outside of the session. After all, in any given week, there are 167 hours’ worth of living done outside of therapy.

Therapist

I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist for 20 years. I am trained and experienced in several modalities including EMDR, mindfulness, Family Systems, Imago, the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology and early attachment. It has been a profound privilege being on this journey with others. Participating in a process where others dive deep into their vulnerable truth, has given my life great meaning. I've been called to provide a space for others to be seen, heard, and known in the midst of their feelings of shame, guilt, fear, inadequacy, unworthiness, and vulnerability and through their experience of being more truly known be reminded of their profound value and worthiness
