Hi! I’m Sophia
Six years ago, I began volunteering at a crisis and suicide prevention call line. This work exposed me to people going through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. I was struck by how being witnessed grounded many of the people I spoke with. It seemed that in sharing their truth out loud, the power of the suicidal thoughts deflated. The work gave me my first inkling of the transformative nature of relationship. During this time, I dove into practicing meditation. Through my practice, I discovered the expansive nature of my heart and the changing nature my mind.
As my clinical mental health training unfolded, I deepened my exploration into the areas trauma and oppression and how these experiences shape people’s sense of self, their relationships, and their view of the world. As a bicultural, Laitne, and queer person, the social contexts and political atmosphere of the time wove the personal and profession into one. I’ve learned how systems of oppression affect all people (albeit in varying ways) and how the mental health impact of oppression shows up in the same way stress, distress, and trauma do.
My journey has led me to center warmth, openness, non-judgement, and playfulness into my therapeutic work and trauma treatment. Working together, I support clients to tune into their courage, values, and strengths through contemplative and somatic approaches. My goal for each client is that they develop friendliness with all of their being: the brilliant, the loving, the funky, and the messy.
