Hi there, I'm Sophia!

I've worked with both kids and adults, helping people manage anxiety, depression, and trauma.

My focus

My work has spanned across age groups and settings, including residential care. I value the importance of a safe, authentic therapeutic relationship.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I use CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care to help you better understand your thoughts and emotions, build effective coping skills, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

My communication style

I'm committed to providing culturally responsive, client-centered support. Whether you're just starting therapy or returning to it, I'm here to support you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I have always wanted to be in a profession where I could help others. Since I became a therapist, I have been committed to understanding people and supporting them through tough times.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting by collaborating with the clients and identifying what has brought them into therapy, and highlighting what is important to them now. We then get together to set meaningful and realistic goals that align with their personal values.

Our first session

During the first session, my goal is to build rapport and get to know the client. The most important thing is to create a safe space for my client.
