The Team

Searching for the “right” therapist may feel overwhelming. Let me guide you and make this process easy by telling you about myself. I have been a therapist for over 30 years working primarily with children, adolescents and families. I specialize in treating persons with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideations, anger management, divorce conflicts, sexual abuse, and other trauma related issues.
 My job as a therapist is to create an accepting, safe and warm environment in which you can grow, heal and look forward to a bright, healthy and happy future. The road ahead can be difficult but not impossible. Allow me to join in this wonderful journey you are about to begin. 

As a strengths-based therapist, I believe in working alongside my clients to help them feel empowered and to develop a more positive sense of self. While life stressors and adjustments are inevitable, I create a safe therapeutic environment for my clients to access and strengthen their resilience in the face of challenges. I work with couples, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship and self-esteem issues, life adjustments, and trauma-related symptoms. I am fundamentally a client-centered therapist, and my first priority is to cultivate a connection with my clients that is built upon trust. In our work together, I will join you in navigating the road to healing by promoting self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-worth. The prioritization of mental health is a foundational element to lasting change and a better quality of life. Supervised by Lynda Herrera LMFT 77478

Regardless of age, race, gender or class, we all want the same thing: to feel like we have the tools and strength to cope with the stresses & traumas of life. The clients I have had the privilege of working with over the years come from a wide variety of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, but they all share a desire to gain a deeper understanding of how their past affects their present and their future. My clients come to treatment with the goal of reducing the power their symptoms have over them, and to learn coping skills that can help increase their feelings of stability and inner calm.

I use CBT and Narrative therapy as the foundation for much of my work. By guiding them in building their self confidence and challenging their negative beliefs, my clients have been able to tackle social anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship challenges, work and academic stressors, and more.

We’re living in stressful times – sometimes it can feel unmanageable, isolating, maybe even hopeless. Given the overwhelming pressures and demands of day-to-day life, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s important. But it doesn’t have to be this way. What if you could get back in touch with your hopes, dreams, and desires?
 
As a therapist, I am interested in exploring how problems are shaped by the complicated social, cultural, and political contexts we live in. Though we live in a far from perfect world, we each have strengths and resources that can help us stand up to the challenges we face. I hope to help you feel empowered to lead a more purposeful and fulfilling life.
I work with clients experiencing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, job and career stress, and cancer and other illnesses. Whether you are new to therapy, looking to start again after a break, or have had unsatisfactory experiences in the past, I aim to offer alternative ways of looking at the problems in your life. Together, we can find a meaningful path forward. Supervised by Maral Malekian LMFT 52815

Hi, I’m Sophia, and my goal is to help you build a strong, healthy, and mindful relationship with yourself and explore how that self integrates with the world and others. During my graduate studies, I completed an art therapy master’s research thesis on Attention Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) in women which was inspired by my own lived experience with having and navigating ADHD. When it comes to this neurodivergent condition, it feels as though there are five steps to complete before showing up to the start line everyone else begins at automatically. Underneath the outward mask can be feelings of isolation, being misunderstood, experiences of rejection, depression, anxiety, and a constant state of burn out always on the horizon.

As a therapist for ADHD, the neurodivergent lens is applied from start to finish. My sessions for both individuals and couples include psychoeducation, roleplay, career counseling, art making/ journaling prompts, somatic work, and additional resources to help shape a life that works with the ADHD brain rather than against it.

My background consists of trauma informed yoga, philosophy, and meditation. I have worked with veterans returning from deployment that were struggling with stepping out of ‘fight-or-flight’ and trying to rediscover their goals and purpose after retirement. This is what opened the door to becoming a therapist and incorporating a person center, strength based practice for finding that deeper meaning to your life and setting attainable goals that can allow you to feel fulfilled in your days.

Along with race and culture, I welcome all religious & spiritual beliefs, sexual orientations, gender identities, and spiritual/religious beliefs into the therapeutic space. I believe to be fully present, this includes acknowledging the very real systemic hardships that can add to the struggle of being human. I prioritize making your session a space where you feel safe to fully arrive, take deeper breaths, and meet yourself with compassion.
