Compassionate, Person-Centered Holistic Psychotherapy with Sophia
I specialize in anxiety therapy for adults, teens, veterans, and first responders, helping clients navigate anxiety, burnout, PTSD, perfectionism, relationship challenges, social anxiety, and academic stress. Using a whole-person, person-centered approach, our work focuses on helping you feel more calm, empowered, and self-aware so you can move forward in life with greater confidence and less stress.
As a Certified Medical Family Therapist, I provide holistic, trauma-informed therapy for individuals and families coping with reproductive health and fertility challenges, cancer, pregnancy loss, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), chronic pain, chronic illness, depression, vicarious trauma, PTSD, and moral injury. My approach integrates medical family therapy with mental health support, recognizing the deep connection between physical health, emotional wellbeing, and family relationships.
Clients often describe my therapy style as warm, collaborative, and compassionate. My goal is to understand your story from your perspective and create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. As an integrative therapist I incorporate neuroscience-informed principles, mindfulness practices, cognitive reframing, and solution-focused strategies to help you develop healthier thought patterns and coping skills. When helpful I'll integrate creative and experiential therapies such as art, music, eco-psychology, and therapeutic games, alongside evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Narrative Therapy and others.
I bring 17 years of combined experience as a certified holistic wellness coach and psychotherapist, supporting adults, teens, and families from diverse backgrounds around the world. In our sessions you will find a confidential, non-judgmental space to explore what matters most to you. Together, we will develop a clear, practical therapy plan designed to help you build resilience, reduce stress, and move forward with confidence.
As a graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary I welcome integrating faith and spirituality with evidence-based practices for clients who desire it. Spiritual wellbeing can be an important part of healing, and I respect each client’s personal beliefs and values.
I offer hybrid psychotherapy services with in-person therapy in Pasadena, California, and secure virtual therapy throughout California. Evening and weekend appointments are available to support busy schedules.
Personalized coaching available to anyone nationwide with flexible options and structure.
