About Simona

(She/Her)

Do you feel trapped, unable to imagine what feeling better might look like? Is persistent negative self-talk preventing you from living the life you desire? If so, you’re not alone, and you’ve taken an important step by seeking support. As a Registered Psychotherapist, my mission is to help you navigate through life’s challenges, empowering you to overcome obstacles that hinder your ability to live your best life.

My therapy practice is grounded in the understanding that mental health does not exist in a vacuum. I recognize the profound impact that systemic and structural barriers can have on your well-being. These external pressures can exacerbate feelings of hopelessness and frustration, making it difficult to see a way forward. In our work together, I will help you explore these influences while also focusing on your internal strengths. By identifying and harnessing your unique resilience, we can work together to create meaningful change in your life.

I work with individuals (16+), couples and families and employ a variety of therapeutic modalities tailored to your unique needs. From cognitive-behavioral techniques to experiential approaches, my goal is to provide you with the tools you need to navigate life’s complexities. Together, we will explore your core values and how they align with your therapy goals. This integration of values into our work is not just about symptom relief—it’s about helping you create a life and cultivate relationships that are authentic and fulfilling.

Building a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my practice. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely and explore your thoughts and feelings. Through our collaboration, we will work to dismantle the barriers that stand between you and a more satisfying life. Whether it’s improving relationships, enhancing your self-esteem, or finding purpose during life transitions, our work will be guided by your aspirations and strengths.

Psychotherapy is a journey of self-discovery and growth. It’s about more than just managing symptoms; it’s about transforming your life in ways that align with who you truly are. I’m here to walk with you on this journey, providing the support, insight, and tools you need to thrive. If you’re ready to take the next step toward a more fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out and start this transformative process with me.
