Meet Sofia
As a first-generation South Asian American raised by immigrant parents, I understand the complexities of navigating multiple cultural identities. Balancing collectivist values with individual autonomy informs my work, and I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered. I take a collaborative, individualized approach to therapy, drawing from CBT, DBT, and ACT—but always tailoring my work to meet each client’s unique needs and goals. My style is warm, open-minded, and holistic—welcoming humor, vulnerability, and everything in between. Most of my experience has been with young adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, codependency, and trauma related to sexual assault and domestic violence. I aim to build strong therapeutic relationships where clients feel safe exploring difficult emotions and are empowered to grow. My clinical background includes work in private practice, a university counseling center, nonprofits, high school, and an adolescent partial hospitalization program, supporting clients from diverse backgrounds and experiences.
