Sophie understands the power of providing psychoeducation to the client regarding the approach she uses to promote awareness, as awareness is the first step to change. She views awareness like turning on a light switch in a dark room. The approaches she uses creates deeper awareness within her client, whether it be identifying an unhelpful belief that stemmed from childhood experiences or an unwanted pattern you are currently stuck in to create a new healthier perspective and wellbeing.  Additionally, the approaches she uses in therapy provide client's with new coping skills and therapy techniques that clients can practice outside of sessions to continue working towards growth and healing in a long-lasting way.

Couples Therapy

Sophie is dedicated and experienced in working with couples and families.  She recognizes the value of couples sessions as it provides a safe space for couples to navigate conflicts together and build a healthier bond.  Sophie utilized the Gottman method, which is scientifically proven to be one of the most effective approaches for couples healing and progress.  She works with each couple to help them gain a deeper understanding of one another's perspectives, resolve conflicts constructively, and improve communication.  Sophie particularly enjoys guiding couples to identify and address underlying problems (earlier childhood or negative experiences, family of origin work, past relationship patterns) that are causing strain on the relationship, building trust, and improving intimacy. 

Sophie believes in viewing a family as a whole system and how each person’s emotions and behaviors impact the entire system. She enjoys working with families to help them better understand and modify these unique dynamics to promote a strong foundation in the family system. Sophie works with families to improve communication, create healthy boundaries, improve conflict resolution by addressing the families patterns and dynamics of interactions of all family members. She uses techniques such as role playing to practice new desired behaviors, narrative therapy to guide families to reframe distressing stories in a more positive way, structural family therapy to address family dynamics, and solution focused therapy to focus on their strengths to overcome challenges.
