About Simone

She supports people facing relationship struggles, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, career questions, self-esteem problems, and major life changes.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space and avoids labeling people.
How Simone works
Sessions are collaborative - Simone listens first, then helps set goals that feel useful and realistic. Simone draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral strategies and acceptance-based work.
She may also use emotionally-focused techniques and relationship-focused tools when relevant. Work in sessions is practical and focused on what the person wants to change. That can mean learning new ways to handle stress and anxiety, repairing patterns in close relationships, or developing strategies for parenting and career decisions.
Simone helps people translate insights into small, manageable steps. With six years of experience overall, Simone has worked in both school settings and independent practice. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and brings attention to the impact of racial trauma and discrimination in the work.
If someone is ready to make a change, she offers steady support and clear direction.

Online support options
Approaches for online healing and relationship work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and building a trusting relationship so people can find their own solutions and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at thinking patterns and behavior to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression through clear strategies and practice.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Simone will discuss options and tailor techniques based on goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy days or when travel is difficult. Video lets people use visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can be useful for quick reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep consistent progress.
