Together, we’ll untangle what’s been weighing on you and create a path forward that feels realistic and empowering. Therapy can be a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to move toward lasting change—at your own pace.

Making the decision to start therapy is a profound investment of your time, energy, and vulnerability. If you are looking for a blank-slate clinician who simply nods and listens, we might not be the best fit. I offer a highly engaged, malleable, and unflinching partnership.

My approach is rooted in the belief that while the work of untangling our lives is deeply structural, the room itself doesn't always have to feel heavy. I bring a grounded warmth to my practice—which means knowing how to sit quietly in the gravity of a difficult truth, but also knowing when to break the tension, exhale, and find the light in the sheer complexity of being human. I won’t just sit in silence while you do all the heavy lifting; I am an active collaborator who adapts to exactly where you are.

Above all, I want my clients to know that my priority is to create a space where they feel safe being fully and authentically themselves. As a gay man, I understand the importance of having spaces where identity does not need to be explained, defended, or minimized, and I hope to create that sense of safety for each of my clients. I welcome LGBTQ+ adults and young adults, and I offer affirming therapy where who you are is the starting point, not something you have to justify.

Professionally, I am a Miami-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering telehealth therapy to clients across Florida. I completed my Bachelor of Social Work in Indianapolis and my Master of Social Work in Miami. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with people navigating some of life's most difficult moments.

My experience includes providing therapeutic services within a homeless shelter's substance use treatment program, as well as working in an inpatient hospital setting. I have supported individuals through addiction and substance use recovery, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, medical crises, and major life transitions. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), harm reduction, solution-focused brief therapy, and positive psychology, and I tailor my approach to what actually fits your life and goals. I am no stranger to difficult conversations, and I want my clients to know that no thought or feeling is unwelcome in our therapeutic space.

Every individual, regardless of background, identity, or lived experience, is welcome in my practice. Whether you are working through recovery, grieving a loss, managing anxiety or depression, or facing a major life change, I would be glad to support you.

I look forward to meeting you!

Hi! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family dynamics, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel stuck in patterns they understand logically but struggle to change. This might look like overthinking, self-doubt, difficulty setting boundaries, or repeating the same patterns in relationships. I help clients understand the “why” behind their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing the insight and tools needed to create meaningful change. My goal is to help you feel more confident in yourself, build healthier relationships, and create a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

Have you ever felt like you're showing up for everyone else, but somewhere along the way, you've lost sight of yourself?Hi, I'm Molly, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience in behavioral health. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, family conflict, grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, panic attacks, bipolar disorder, identity and LGBTQIA+-related concerns, women's issues, and substance use and addiction recovery. I also have a special interest in perinatal and postpartum mental health, supporting new and expecting parents through maternal mental health concerns.

I bring warmth, patience, and genuine curiosity to every session.
