Hello!

My name is Molly (they/them), and I am so glad to meet you here.

​

I have been practicing counseling since 2023 and have found my passion in working with my clients. My approach to counseling is based on the principle that connection is fundamental to our well-being. I strive to bring a warm and grounded presence to the room, to hold space for you to be seen and heard as you are in this moment, and to support you through the moments of laughter and joy as well as the moments of pain and hurt.

​

I am a queer and nonbinary person who loves all things whimsical - especially when it comes to earrings and wildly patterned clothes. I was born and raised here in Colorado Springs, and after some adventures through college and living abroad, my heart called me back to my hometown. For fun and rest, I enjoy creative hobbies like writing, crafting (the current obsession is crochet!), and playing TTRPGs with friends. Being outdoors on a hike or a run keeps me feeling grounded in myself.

​

My Experience

I love working with adolescents and adults across the span of adulthood, and have a particular focus on members of the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodivergent individuals, and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Everyone comes into the therapy space with their own stories and ways of making meaning in life, and I strive to provide an affirming space that honors the unique ways people think, feel, and move through the world. 

​

I have experience working with a wide range of concerns, including self-discovery, stress and anxiety, interpersonal relationships, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, processing traumatic experiences, and exploring how to create a rich and meaningful life for both the present and the future. My approach to therapy is rooted in person-centered therapy (understanding you to be the expert of your own experience) and built upon principles from ACT, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Psychotherapy, and applied Polyvagal Theory. Our work may include emotional and cognitive processing, skills building, psychoeducation, and practices around mindfulness, compassion, and curiosity toward our inner self and the world around us.
