Hi, I'm Sophia
B.A, B.Ed, MACP, RCT-C, CCC
Originally from Newfoundland, I believe everyone deserves a space where they can slow down, feel genuinely heard, and navigate life's challenges with support. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate environment where we can work together toward meaningful and lasting change.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, with a particular focus on trauma, anxiety, burnout, women's mental health, self-worth, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, integrating therapies such as EMDR, ACT, CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, compassion-focused therapy, and somatic approaches.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply not like yourself, we'll work together to better understand what's keeping you there, develop practical tools, and help you move toward the life you want to live.
"Therapy should provide a safe, supportive space to explore life's challenges, gain clarity, and create meaningful change"
