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. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and supported in whatever brings you to therapy, no matter how big or small it may seem. I bring warmth, patience, and genuine curiosity to every session.
