Simona is an energetic therapist that has experience working with children, teenagers, young and older adults, families and couples, supporting a wide range of neuropsychological needs such as ADHD/ADD, depression, anxiety disorders, and everyday stressors that life brings.

She provides a comfortable and safe space for individuals to be their true and authentic selves. She values honesty, humor, and open communication. Simona’s goal is to meet her clients’ needs with compassion and flexibility, so they feel supported and understood.

Simona has a Masters Degree in Forensic Psychology with an emphasis on counseling and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology focusing on Human Developmental Psychology.
