Molly is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA) who works with individuals of all ages, couples, and families. Having earned her M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from East Carolina University, Molly specializes in supporting young adults struggling with self-esteem, couples desiring to deepen their connection and understanding of one another, families noticing imbalances in their roles, and children (ages 5-12) as they navigate stressful shifts in life. Molly’s focus areas include anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, grief, marital counseling, faith-based counseling, OCD, and trust rebuilding.

Striving to create a therapeutic space which feels warm, organic, safe and secure, Molly utilizes experiential therapy and attachment theory to aid clients in re-experiencing impactful moments in a corrective, safe, and healing way. Molly works to make clients feel deeply understood, without judgement; this includes making individuals within couples and families feel equally valued and worthy of being heard. By exploring familial patterns and perceptions of self, others, and context, Molly partners with clients to develop their sense of self and work towards self-advocacy and congruent communication (actions lining up with words).

Molly utilizes filial play therapy for children ages 5-12 and works to balancing fun with gentleness, Molly connects well with children and believes in the power of “witnessing” a child’s experience by allowing them to express and play through emotions freely. This important form of communication allows for expression, processing, and forming new corrective experiences. 

As a therapist, Molly is passionate about instilling hope and walking alongside clients to explore and uncover their core selves. She believes that once we understand who we are and what we desire, we can more comfortably express our needs and overcome struggles in a confident and self-honoring manner. Molly warmly meets any client in the midst of their hurt. When requested by her clients, Molly integrates faith into the healing process.

As a North Carolina native, Molly feels honored to connect with clients in the triangle area and beyond! Outside of the office, Molly has a gift for finding porches to sit on and mugs to drink out of. She is bubbly and energetic, always looking toward her next adventure. She enjoys time with those she loves, rewatching the same movies over and over again, and indulging in a sweet treat after most meals.
