About Simone (she/they)
I am an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist currently offering teletherapy.
My clients typically find that their social identities & challenges center around: neurodiversity, giftedness, high sensitivity, CPTSD, chronic illness, queer & trans experience, non-monogamy, mystic or spiritual experience, anxiety, depression, and folks who care deeply about the human impact on our planet.
I have a special interest in supporting deep and honest connections that spans differences and have worked with racially diverse couples and families, mixed neurotype couples and families, mixed ability couples, and situations where an individual or partner may be feeling chronically unheard or misunderstood.
My primary value that I center is individual and collective liberation. Loosening the tangled lines of internalized oppressive messaging is a shared process. I particularly seek to support those who are working to increase their understanding of how their personal challenges are tied to larger systems so that they can reclaim their connection to self. We can work together to foster resilience that weathers the stress, uncertainty, and transition involved in the process of change. The individual is the collective and the collective is individual.
Therapy Style
The specific therapy modalities that I work from are Internal Family Systems (I am currently in level 1 training), collaborative language systems, polyvagal theory, and somatics. If it feels right, we can also incorporate art, sound, and ritual. I also incorporate my training in the Gottman Method and Emotion Focused Therapy for couples when it’s appropriate.
You can expect me to be an active participant in therapy. My style is animated, direct, deep, penetrative, and holding. I’ll always seek to support your specific cadence, flow, needs, and goals. I am a firm believer of leaning away from passive-style talk therapy and towards a more active mapping, connecting, linking, and feeling experience so that your therapy sessions can become a place of brave change that will support you even after therapy is complete.
