Hi, I’m Simone. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist, Canadian Certified Counsellor, and EMDRIA-Certified EMDR Therapist with expertise in mental health, wellness coaching, and exercise sciences, offering a holistic, person-centered approach.

I integrate evidence-based models like EMDR, Polyvagal Therapy, Schema Therapy, and Internal Family Systems, blending them with wellness coaching when needed.

With Master’s degrees in Counselling Psychology and Adapted Physical Activity, plus eight years with the Directorate of Fitness Human Performance Research team, I bring deep insight into military challenges and mental health (I also played a key role in setting fitness standards for the Canadian Department of National Defense).

Having traveled extensively and contributed to humanitarian causes, I’m committed to supporting well-being, including volunteering with sexual assault survivors. Outside work, I enjoy staying active and cheering at my kids’ sporting events.
