About Simone

Hi, I'm Simone, a licensed clinical social worker passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I strive to create a supportive space where clients can show up fully as themselves without judgment. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I meet each client where they are while honoring their unique identities, strengths, and cultural and lived experiences. Many of the clients I work with are seeking to heal from past traumas, improve family dynamics, build healthier relationships, manage stress and anxiety, and reconnect with their sense of purpose while rebuilding their self-confidence. 

My goal is to help clients feel empowered to grow, heal, and create lasting change. I believe therapy is a collaborative process that doesn't require you to become someone different—it begins with feeling heard and respected as you reconnect. My work incorporates CBT, DBT, solution-focused brief therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. 

I believe that no matter where you are in your journey, you do not have to navigate it alone. Taking care of yourself is the most courageous act you can take. If you are ready to take the next step and begin your healing, I invite you to schedule an appointment. Together, we can work toward creating the best and healthiest version of yourself.

Get to know Simone

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

I wanted to help other people feel seen, heard, and valued, without judgement. 

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?

That the healing process is unique to every individual. There is no race or "finish line", but growth is a continuous journey that can be meaningful, with the right amount of support. 

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

Clients can expect a honest conversation that allows us to get to know each other better.

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs? 

I meet each client where they are at, allowing them to take the lead in their healing journey. My role is to offer genuine support and guidance along the way, while making sure that clients meet the goals that they have identified for themselves.
