She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes, grief, or relationship struggles.

She uses a mix of approaches to help clients notice patterns, tolerate hard feelings, and try new ways of coping. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Her background includes a decade of clinical work with adults facing mood disorders, trauma, parenting stress, and work-related burnout. Simone draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for distress tolerance and emotion regulation.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods inform her work, so clients set goals that matter to them while staying grounded in present experience.

How Simone's Approaches Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand trust, distance, and closeness in their relationships and why certain situations feel triggering.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits for mood and anxiety management.
Simone blends these approaches with client-centered care so treatment reflects each person's goals. She will work together with clients to figure out which techniques fit best and adjust the plan as needs change over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when you need less bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging make brief check-ins or skill reminders possible between sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules.
