About Holly
She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Seattle and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Florida with a minor in Women's Studies and Gender Issues. Her career began in 2003 and has included inpatient care, mobile crisis work, triage, community counseling, home-based services, residential settings, and telehealth. Those varied settings shaped her practical, adaptable style.
In sessions she emphasizes unconditional positive regard, respect, and encouragement. She draws on client-centered therapy and uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-focused ideas and attention to family systems and intergenerational trauma also inform her work.
Holly works with people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, self-esteem concerns, mood disorders, and issues related to identity and sexuality. She also addresses focused problems such as panic attacks, communication problems, attachment concerns, codependency, and feelings of emptiness.
Practical supports include communication skills coaching and strategies for coping with career stress, fertility challenges, and compassion fatigue. She favors collaboration and gentle humor in sessions, and invites clients to bring their whole selves to the work.
