A Dallas native, Molly grew up in the Park Cities area with a not so ‘put together’ life. From a young age Molly was consistently overshadowed by her family's growing troubles of conflict, addiction, and an added pressure to 'keep it together'. Meanwhile, Molly had also developed her own difficulty with food, weight, and exercise. Through counseling, Molly found a path of authenticity as she started to finally repair her relationship with herself and her family. From then on, Molly promised she would help others someday in the same way she was helped.Molly went on to graduate from Highland Park High School (Go Scots!) and headed south to Texas A&M University (WHOOP) to pursue her dream. While attending college and holding many leadership positions, Molly found out she was a little too good at taking care of other people's jobs, and deemed herself a persistent overfunctioner for others! It was here where Molly found her 'niche' of working with those who are overwhelmed, overworked, or in high stress environments. Molly graduated from A&M with a degree in Psychology and began her masters program at Dallas Baptist University a month later. Molly mostly enjoys working with grief and trauma, and adult eating disorders, and utilizes EMDR in both. Her personal experience with her own trauma and eating disorders allows her to fully understand the pain, difficulty, and fear that those things can bring. Molly also will provide Christian counseling on request. Molly incorporates her study of family systems as well as cognitive behavioral therapy to address all aspects of her counseling, while also seeing the best in her clients and using context to explain behavior. Molly finds joy in getting to journey through life with her clients and helping them reach their own personal goals. She believes in the benefits of having someone 'on your team' and wants to help you learn to see yourself as someone who is deserving of love from yourself and others. Molly is a horse and dog lover (or could be diagnosed obsessed) and currently has 2 dogs and 2 horses of her own. In her spare time you can find her at the local dog park, spending time with friends, traveling, volunteering, or riding her horses.
