Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Maryland. I am also licensed in VA, WV, DC, and NJ. I received my Master's from The University of Maryland and have ten years of experience. I support individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma,stress, peer relationships, and life transitions. I am certified in trauma focused treatment and have a background in working with the military/military family population.
In our first session, we will go over introductions, review therapy policies and procedures, and answer any questions you may have about the therapeutic process. We will also discuss the presenting challenge and the treatment modality that will be utilized in follow-up sessions.
Having ten years of experience providing individual person-centered therapy; I will focus on the autonomy of the client and developing a treatment plan that meets the needs of the client. I am open to utilizing unique interventions to help the client achieve their personal goals.
I love working with individuals who are motivated for change, open to stepping out of their comfort zones when it comes to treatment, and are not afraid to give or receive feedback. My ideal client is consistent, values my time and their own, and comes to the therapy space eager to develop goals and coping skills to manage life's stressors better.

I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past ten years. It’s helped clients to challenge recurring thoughts to manage their anxiety and depression. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to reframe your thinking patterns to create balance.
I utilize CBT-i to help clients identify contributing variables for insomnia and to improve their quality of sleep.
I have utilized MI in my practice for the past eight years to increase client's motivation for change. We will utilize MI to identify your capacity for change, identify your personal strengths, and empower you to be your own agent of change.
Prolonged Exposure Therapy focuses on identifying an index trauma and aiding the client in reframing how they engage with the trauma memory. PE focuses on having the client recall the trauma memory and engaging with activities that trigger their trauma symptoms to reduce the severity of trauma responses.
CPT focuses on aiding the client in identifying "stuck points" that trigger trauma responses and developing cognitive reframing skills to challenge stuck points.

Simone is amazing at what she does. She is attentive, and patient but is also amazing at challenging avoidance when needed. She also has a knack for getting to the crux of issues/symptoms. In our short time together, I am already noticing my progress and while sessions aren't always 'comfortable', I feel incredibly safe being vulnerable with her. She is the type of provider I'd confidently recommend to other providers.

Very open-minded, non-judgmental and straightforward- which is great. Simone gives great feedback and insight while allowing space to talk through what you need and process fully.
