Bio

With a background in psychoanalysis and motivational interviewing, Holly approaches each client with deep empathy, compassion, intrigue, and - above all - awareness of each individual’s expertise in their own life and experience. Being a guide in the therapeutic endeavor is the approach she takes with each client, regardless of position within their family and society, at large.

Holly has worked in diverse clinical settings helping clients who face challenges or seek growth in an array of areas such as anxiety, grief, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and launching adulthood. She has developed a focus on perinatal mental health care and working with women throughout the life cycle. She also has experience working with women struggling with substance misuse. Holly specializes in supporting adults and their partners in transition to parenthood. Holly’s life experiences, including motherhood, help her bring an empathic energy to her work with parents, knowing how difficult these years can be even while also potentially being some of the most joyful.

Before becoming a therapist, Holly advocated for LGBTQIA rights and environmental causes in the nonprofit sector, worked in education and advocacy for plant-based living, and held a role at a natural foods corporation. As a certified yoga instructor, she integrates mind-body practices to enhance wellness and the therapeutic process.
