Accepting New Clients
Molly approaches her therapeutic work with empathy, curiosity, and playfulness. She sees herself as part of a flexible, collaborative process with her clients, and full of possibilities. Having spent time in other cultures, Molly is particularly interested in how both macro and micro communities shape us, and how we can consciously identify and choose our own core values, and act with integrity even in the presence of great challenges. Molly blends a person-centered approach focusing on clients’ strengths, innate creativity, and tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Through these techniques, she empowers her clients to explore unhelpful behavior patterns, cultivate meaningful connections, create new and promising narratives, and embrace their complex, authentic selves.

Something that matters to me

“We live in a culture that is dehumanizing in many ways, and so many of my clients feel bad about themselves, which gets in the way of relating to the world and others in the way that they want. I like to tell them that, as outlandish as it sounds, self-appreciation is a reasonable and useful goal.”
