    Sophia is an incredible therapist — warm, intuitive, and deeply compassionate. From the very first session, she made me feel safe, understood, and supported. Her gentle yet insightful guidance helped me see things in a new light and develop real tools to handle life’s challenges. I’m so grateful for her presence and the genuine care she brings to every session. She’s truly a gift.
