DBT for Adults and Teens in Los Angeles, CA
Dialectical Behavior Therapy for modern lives and relationships
Why do I feel like I’m too much… and also not enough?
Why do I keep reacting like this? Why do relationships seem so hard for me?
Therapy can help you explore the patterns driving these reactions, build practical tools to manage intense emotions, and create more secure, connected relationships so that you feel less alone and more grounded in who you are.
Hi, I’m Sofia.
I help adults, teens, and couples who struggle with emotional intensity, hurtful relationship patterns, and self-doubt build connection, confidence, and a sense of belonging.
While I primarily offer comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), my work is trauma-informed and integrates psychodynamic and attachment-based principles. Together, we clarify the patterns driving your reactions and develop concrete strategies for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and communicating more effectively.
I believe therapy is, at its heart, a human-to-human endeavor. It does not have to feel overly clinical to be effective. My style is warm, collaborative, and direct. I ask hard questions, offer honest reflections, and stay actively engaged in the work with you.
Before becoming a therapist, I earned my degree in Psychology from Harvard University and worked as a consultant at Deloitte. That background informs my structured and thoughtful approach, helping clients translate insight into real and sustainable change.
