Hi, I'm Sophie.

How I found this work

Long before I became a therapist, I was the person everyone came to. The listener. The mediator. The one people trusted with the conversations they couldn't have anywhere else. I've always been deeply curious about people and endlessly fascinated by what shapes us into who we become. Becoming a therapist never really felt like choosing a career, it felt like putting words to something I'd been doing my whole life.

I've also lived through my own hard seasons.

I've navigated difficult family dynamics, postpartum depression and OCD, and now the physical and emotional shifts of perimenopause. Those experiences aren't what qualify me to be your therapist, but they've absolutely shaped the way I show up. I know what it's like when your own mind or body suddenly feels unfamiliar. I know how lonely that can be. And I know how much it matters to have someone who doesn't rush to fix you, but instead helps you make sense of what's happening.

What I Believe

One of my favorite moments in therapy is when something finally clicks. It's when a woman who's spent years asking, "What's wrong with me?" suddenly says, "Oh, that actually makes so much sense."

Because I don't believe you're broken. I think you've adapted.

Maybe you've learned to people-please because it kept the peace. Maybe you overthink because your nervous system learned to stay one step ahead. Maybe you've become fiercely independent because somewhere along the way it stopped feeling safe to need other people.

Those patterns didn't appear out of nowhere. They served a purpose. Together, we'll get curious about them, understand how they've protected you, and decide which ones you're ready to outgrow.

The way I approach therapy

One thing that's especially important to me is looking at the whole picture. Our minds don't exist separately from our bodies. Hormones, trauma, chronic stress, relationships, sleep, grief, and life transitions all influence how we feel. That's one reason I'm so passionate about working with women during seasons like postpartum and perimenopause. Sometimes what feels like "losing yourself" isn't a personal failure. It's your nervous system asking for support. It's your hormones changing. It's years of carrying more than anyone should have had to carry.

Clients often tell me they're surprised by how easy it is to talk with me. Therapy with me feels more like a real conversation than sitting across from someone taking notes. I take this work seriously, but I don't take myself too seriously. There's room for tears, but there's also room for dry humor, laughter, honesty, and the occasional gentle reality check. I'm naturally warm and compassionate, but I'm also thoughtful and direct when I think it'll help you move forward.

A little about me

Outside the therapy office, you'll usually find me on a hiking trail, out for a run, strength training, getting lost in a good book, or spending time with family and friends. Traveling fills my cup, and if I could disappear anywhere for a week, it would probably be wandering through the lavender fields of Provence with a flaky croissant, a good cup of coffee, and nowhere I needed to be.
