More about Sophy
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
I have a special interest in working with women who are seeking support for depression, anxiety, loss, and grief (relationships, miscarriage, death of a loved one), low self-esteem, parenting, establishing healthy boundaries, spiritual issues, and relationships. Supporting, encouraging, and comforting others has been an integral part of my journey, leading me on a path to a rich and rewarding career as a clinical social worker. I am passionate about supporting individuals to reach their behavioral health, relational and spiritual goals!
My approach is strengths-based, holistic, and collaborative. While we may explore your past experiences, we won't stay there. Our focus will be on your present and future. Our work together will include problem-solving, strategic planning, developing healthy coping skills, and replacing unhelpful thinking patterns.
