Simone

As someone who has been on the ‘other side of the couch’, I am a huge advocate for the transformative power of therapy and recognize the courage it takes to begin the journey. Together, we’ll work to uncover and understand the thoughts that contribute to feelings of self-doubt, anxiety, or overwhelming sadness. I am committed to creating a space where you feel truly heard, validated, and supported. My ultimate goal is to empower you through a strength-based, solution-focused approach as we take each step forward together.

Simone has experience working with adults dealing with overwhelming changes such as grief, trauma, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. She also has experience working with and advocating for adults from a wide range of cultural backgrounds and the LGBTQIA+ population.
