About

Hello! My name is Molly and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), based in San Diego, California. I work with clients statewide via tele-health. I work with adolescents and adults supporting a variety of issues noted below in Bio. My approach I work with a variety of therapeutic modalities based upon the goals of each individual. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but also pull from Person-Centered Therapy, along with utilizing a Strengths-Based Approach, and Mindfulness. We can explore your goals and identify a treatment plan that will help you feel safe, collaborative and supported. My focus My style is a good fit for both adolescents and adults. I feel everyone has times in their life when social, emotional and relational challenges (to name a few), can make us feel stuck, scared and un-heard. Issues of anxiety, depression, life-transitions, eating disorders, self-worth, anger management, stress and substance abuse can really impact us in a negative way. Gaining the skills you need to move forward can have a life-changing outcome that will help you to feel better and enable you to have better relationships with others and with yourself. My communication style I'm here to be an active listener regarding your concerns and issues and to take a non-judgmental stance, allowing us to be a "team" and form an alliance. Let's take a few deep breaths together while we get to know each other so we can be relaxed and authentic. Additionally, there is nothing wrong with using humor if we can! Therapy does not need to be doom and gloom! My journey to therapy It always felt like many of my friends, or new people I would meet, would confide in me with their stories and their challenges. I thought I was lucky to be able to hear their stories and offer my ear to listen and sometimes offer some guidance.
