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.

"As a woman of color, I offer a genuine, person-centered space where your lived experiences are honored and seen. I believe that healing begins when there is authentic connection, trust, and honest conversation. "
