Therapists in Washington, DC

Hello! My name is Simone and I am a Licensed Independent Clinician. I have about 20 years of experience serving individuals who struggle to manage anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. In the past, I worked with youth and adults who were survivors of sexual assault and mental/emotional abuse. It is my mission to empower and uplift others, help them recognize their strengths, and help them to learn healthy ways to cope with life's stressors.

I am licensed in Hawai'i, Arizona, and Washington DC with over 30 years of professional work experience.

Behavioral and cognitive patterns can have a significant impact on our lives, relationships, and sense of self-worth. If you are taking a closer, deeper look at your own patterns, you may find it helpful to do so in a safe, collaborative environment.

Is your Child or Teen having problems with anxiety, depression, or self-esteem issues? Is your family having significant parent-child conflict? I want to help you & your family achieve a healthier life. Adolescents and young adults have unique challenges that can be difficult to navigate. During these critical periods in life, many may face peer issues, family conflict, self-esteem difficulty, parent-child conflict, and difficulty with transitions (e.g., high school to college; college to career). I have approximately 10 years of experience working with these age groups. Currently, I am also available to see young adult clients.

Life is sacred and challenging. Navigating problems on our own can be overwhelming and difficult. Counseling can be an important part of our journey to become the best version of ourselves in our relationships with others and ourselves. A kind and caring presence can help us begin to change and enter into a growth process. I approach clients with compassion, empathy, and kindness to work collaboratively on what you are going through.
