Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, ADHD, burnout, parenting stress, relationship challenges, or major life transitions begin affecting how you function day-to-day. I work with adults navigating emotional overwhelm, self-esteem struggles, caregiving stress, neurodiversity, and the pressures of modern life. I also work well with analytical and high-achieving individuals, including those in engineering and problem-solving professions. I especially enjoy supporting individuals exploring late-diagnosed ADHD, including individuals learning how neurodiversity has shaped their relationships, work, identity, and emotional well-being.

My name is Sophie. I am a neurospicy healer, abolitionist, disruptor, truth-teller, single mother & lifelong student & practitioner of cultural self-study. The human experience is not easy by any means, but what we choose to do with our given fate is what shapes our continued becoming (individually & collectively). We often feel like we are alone in our struggles. It is not until we feel safe enough to open up to someone that we realize our perception of aloneness is far from true. Some of the hardest work people do with me is learning how to hold space for themselves & really attune to the intelligence of their own heart.

I view psychotherapy as a collaborative conversation where something genuine and unexpected can emerge. The space we create together is open and deeply respectful of your unique experiences and the ways you express them. My approach is psychodynamic and depth-oriented, which simply means we look beneath the surface to understand the forces shaping your life.

I consider it an honor to be allowed entry into someone's life as a therapist. People come to me when some suffering or limitation has opened them up enough to ask a perfect stranger for help. My hope is to provide a safe and respectful place for them to begin to look at the various strands of their lives and stories. Then, as we unravel past and present contributions to the fabric of their lives, we can examine these threads and, with new understanding, weave them back together into a new tapestry which includes fresh possibilities.

If you’re a child, teen, young adult, or parent feeling overwhelmed by an eating disorder, anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, or Functional Neurologic Disorder, I understand how heavy things can feel. You might be juggling school, friendships, or performance pressures, managing unexplained medical symptoms, or trying to navigate life transitions that feel confusing or isolating. I also connect deeply with performers and athletes who are wrestling with burnout, body image concerns, confidence blocks, or the emotional impact of injury. If you or your family feel stuck, stressed, or stretched too thin, you’re exactly who I show up for.

I believe in the power of human connection and the importance of being fully accepted for who you are. Too often we lose ourselves in this busy world and once we take a step back and take a deep breath, we realize things no longer feel right. Together we can slow down, unpack what brings you to therapy (no matter how big or how small), and work towards a healthier, more fulfilling future. As a counselor, I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel well cared for. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we will work to understand your experiences, grow self-awareness, and meet your mental health goals.

I strive to create a collaborative, non-judgemental space to address immediate concerns and grow self-understanding. An important part of that process is building a therapeutic relationship, one where you feel safe and can speak freely. I see my role as a thought partner helping you grow your internal awareness and trust in yourself. Together, we'll explore how certain life experiences have shaped patterns of relating to yourself and others, and explore how this impacts your emotional life. This is an individualized approach that takes into account your unique history, challenges and strengths in guiding the treatment.

If your relationship feels like a group project and you’re doing all the work, keep reading. Somewhere between bills, dishes, and “what do you want for dinner” your marriage turned into two stressed adults sharing a house and a nervous system. The smallest thing, the way your partner is breathing, can feel like a personal attack. Sex becomes pressure or avoidance. One chases, one shuts down. And the scariest part? “Are we okay?” is no longer dramatic. It’s real. The resentment is growing and you’re both exhausted.
