We’re all writing our own life story, and sometimes figuring out the next chapter just takes a little time. Maybe you feel stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed, or unsure of what’s holding you back. Maybe you’re facing something completely new, like grieving a loss, welcoming a child, or navigating a big life shift. Whatever you’re facing, you’re not alone. I’d be honored to be the quiet support behind the scenes- the Alfred to your Batman- cheering you on as you take your next steps, whether it’s your first or one of many. I’m here to listen, encourage, and gently challenge you as you navigate the next chapter of your life.

Life can feel tough, confusing, and overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Hi, I’m Sophie (she/her). I work with adults, especially young adults, who are seeking support with regulating emotions, navigating relationships, exploring their sense of self and identity, and working through life transitions, daily stressors, and mental health concerns. I believe emotions are important guides that help us understand our needs, yet many of us struggle to process them. My goal is to help you make sense of your emotional world so you can better understand yourself, build self-trust, and develop ways to cope with life.

Many people I work with feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand—always on edge, emotionally shut down, overwhelmed by guilt or shame, or disconnected from themselves & others. These responses often make sense when perhaps you've lived through loss, experienced a major life transition or faced ongoing stress or trauma. I believe therapy isn’t about pushing you to relive the past before you’re ready—it’s about helping to understand what is showing up & creating ways to feel more grounded, steady & in control of your life.

My ideal clients are adults who feel stuck in repeating emotional, behavioural, or relational patterns—especially when they already understand themselves well but still find those patterns showing up under stress. Many are navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, anger, or major life transitions and want therapy that feels clearer, more structured, and easier to understand. They are often looking for a space where they can make sense of why these patterns exist and how they continue to shape their day-to-day lives.

Feeling distant from your spouse? Fighting with your teen? Struggling with anger, anxiety, depression, or addiction? Experienced trauma? I work with a variety of clients, but particularly enjoy problems in which clients that have felt misunderstood or mistreated. This includes working with adolescents, parent-teen conflict, relationship difficulties in both individuals and couples, addictions, anger or anxiety management, trauma, and Borderline Personality Disorder. In many of the clients I see, fear and confusion are often barriers to a satisfying life. Healing often comes through gaining confidence in areas one can control.

Do you find yourself asking, “Why am I like this?”; trauma, addiction, and anxiety can pull you off course without warning. I help people make sense of these patterns—without judgement. Many people I work with feel frustrated, ashamed, or confused by their own reactions, knowing what they want logically, yet feeling pulled in another direction emotionally. These patterns often develop for understandable reasons, especially in the context of things like trauma. You’re not broken, weak, or failing. In therapy, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and work toward change in a way that feels safe and respectful.

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or sensing that the ways you’ve learned to cope no longer fit. Many of the people who find their way to my practice are navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, life transitions, identity shifts, or deeper questions of meaning. Often, my clients come with a longing for clarity, self-trust, and a more authentic way of living. You might be tired of over-functioning, navigating psychedelic healing, or feeling out of place in traditional therapy spaces. You may be looking not only for symptom relief, but for deeper understanding, connection, and change that feels true to you.
