About me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 30 years of work experience. I have worked with individuals with issues of anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, self-esteem, borderline personality disorder, and the full range of psychotic symptoms and mood disorders. I also have experience and am comfortable working with couples and families. I am a practical, interactive solution focused therapist and incorporate a blend of conventional and alternative approaches - drawing upon a variety of styles and techniques in the process. I have worked with a very diverse population of clients and in many different settings-from acute emergency-based care to community mental health setting to private practice. I take special pride in cultivating a spirit of caring and respect for everyone I see regardless of the problems or issues they might bring to counseling.
It takes courage to embark on the healing journey that is counseling. My focus is to work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement as they commence the process that will hopefully lead to a sense of wellbeing and vitality. Working at a thought and feelings level can be the catalyst for unraveling the puzzle that is our lives and can lead as well to the resolution of problems and issues that limit our capacity to lead productive and happy lives as we develop the skills needed to navigate the difficulties encountered in daily lives. My passion is to support each individual’s journey with hope as they travel the road to wholeness, wellness, freedom and empowerment. It takes courage to undertake this venture and I am grateful and honored to be able to encourage and validate the personal strength and willingness needed to take this big step forward.

I have nothing but great things to say about Sophia! Within just the first session with her I felt very at ease, as she listens carefully, shows compassion and is very informative about how our nervous systems work. Highly recommend!

Sophia has been a tremendous asset for me to help me process everything that has been going on in my life. She listens intently and provides me with constructive feedback and support.

I absolutely love Ms Sophia! I had a different therapist in the beginning but we didn’t click like I wanted. Ms Sophia and I mesh very well so far! She’s very attentive and shows concern like I need. She also asks questions to get me to open up which is what I needed. You don’t always know what is a trigger for yourself until someone says something that reminds you.
