Hi there, I'm Simone!
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) from Kailua, Hawaii, now based in Oakland, California, where I work with clients in person and via telehealth. I work primarily with adolescents, young adults, parents of adolescents, and families who are facing the challenges of anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, and life stressors.
My focus
My style and approach are a good fit for teens, young adults, parents, and families who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions, low self-esteem, identity exploration, and interpersonal difficulties. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, ADHD, and general distress.
My approach
My approach to therapy is tailored to the needs of the individual or family I am working with. I mostly utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Attachment-Based Family Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as I’ve found these modalities allow me to help clients make sense of their experiences.
