Sophie was a tremendous help to me through one of the most difficult stages in my life. She supported me in understanding the truth of a truly challenging situation that would have otherwise caused me so much more unnecessary pain. She listened to me, brought light to things I otherwise would not have seen, and helped me find ways to address the root problems I was having. I'm very grateful for her help and also happy I reached out in the first place! Thankyou so much Sophie!

Hi there! My therapeutic work always begins with developing trust, open communication, and connection between therapist and patient, as the best and most profound work happens when there is a safe space that is created. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with 10 years of experience working in the human services field. I have lots of experience working directly with individuals in counseling and therapy and utilize a range of different approaches for supporting you in identifying your greatest challenges and making life changes. I have the most particular experience working with individuals experiencing anxiety disorders, stress and panic, depression, grief and loss, and trauma response however I am available for supporting you in many other difficulties as well.
I typically utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as dialectical behavioral therapy, and solution-focused techniques. My work consists of techniques and interventions that promote mindfulness, self-awareness and growth, and challenge you to make changes that will support your functioning and wellness. You have taken the first brave step in looking for a therapist that is right for you. I hope to have the opportunity to get to know you and how I can best support you in your journey through this chapter of your life. Now, find your feet on the ground and inhale deeply, then exhale.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
