She works with children, adolescents, and older adults, using a collaborative and relationship-centered approach to support each client’s individual needs.

Grounded in Relational-Cultural and Humanistic theories, Molly views the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for trust, mutual empathy, and authentic self-expression. She works alongside clients to strengthen self-esteem, develop greater self-awareness, and create space for emotional healing and growth.

Molly also maintains a personal art practice focused on fiber arts, printmaking, bookmaking, and curation. Her experience with a wide range of artistic materials informs her work with clients, using art as a potential avenue for expression, reflection, mindfulness, and connection.
