I offer client-centered supportive and insight-oriented therapy, and enjoy connecting deeply with people at all stages of recovery from psychological worries-from those interested in trying therapy for the first time to folks returning for another period of healing, exploration, and growth.
I have a warm, non-judgmental temperament that allows people to share what brings them into session, even when the issues may feel overwhelming or hard to talk about.Psychotherapy has been called "the talking cure" and a "cure through love." This unique therapeutic relationship is supportive of where you are at now, and -- in an optimal way -- provides the support and insights you need for healthy, lasting change.

Simon was truly a life saver for me. I don't even know where to start in a review. I think the bottom line is that he is completely non judgmental to anything that you bring into session, and very thoughtful in his responses. He was able to draw insights out of me that I didn't even know were there. He not only helped me when in crisis, but also helped me assemble a sort of "tool kit" of skills to keep me out of crisis in the future. Truly an amazing soul.
