About Sophie

My hope is to provide a safe and understanding environment for my clients. I will work closely with you or your child, to create a dynamic and empathetic therapeutic environment. As a young clinician I'm passionate about working with kiddos and teens to manage ADHD, body image, and social media addiction. I am currently a school counselor at The Westminster Schools, where I support students' social, emotional, and academic well-being. Additionally, I work with individual adults & couples coping with trauma, grief, and relationship difficulties. I offer EMDR, CBT and DBT. For couples, I offer Emotionally-Focused Therapy, an attachment-based approach.

I completed my B.A. in Psychology from Emory University and earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan, with a focus on interpersonal practice in mental health. Additionally, I work at The Westminster Schools as an upper school counselor. I'm originally from New York and love Atlanta for all of its parks, yoga studios and restaurants!

Outside of the therapy room I recharge by hiking, exploring restaurants, and spending time with my loved ones. I bring my authentic self to the therapy room so that you feel safe to do the same!

Please reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation. I look forward to connecting with you!
