Trauma-informed DBT for adults, teens, and couples in Beverly Hills and Online in California
Build a life worth living and relationships that feel like home
You're ready to understand yourself more deeply and live more fully.
Anxiety, relationship conflict, and family stress can feel overwhelming.
Maybe you've been handling things yourself or past therapy hasn't quite worked how you hoped. You're looking for support that goes beyond just symptom management or rehashing your past. You want real solutions that help you live differently today.
My clients are often high-functioning and self-aware. From the outside, your life looks great, but on the inside, something has felt off for a long time. Whether you are an adult navigating relationships that keep hitting the same wall, a parent concerned about your teen, or a couple wanting to break a cycle you haven't been able to shift, change is possible. Let's help you build the life and relationships you’ve been wanting.
Hi, I’m Sofia.
I help adults, teens, and couples who struggle with intense emotions and hurtful relationship patterns build connection, confidence, and a sense of belonging.
I offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for teens and adults, working from a trauma-informed perspective that often integrates somatic 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.
Ways to Work Together
Specialties
-
Anxiety and depression can leave you feeling emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or stuck in patterns of overthinking, self-criticism, and exhaustion. Together, we can help you better understand these patterns while building practical tools for a more grounded and fulfilling life
-
Relationships can bring up our deepest fears, insecurities, and emotional patterns. Whether you feel stuck in painful relationship cycles, struggle with boundaries or communication, or feel disconnected from yourself or others, therapy can help you build healthier, more secure, and more fulfilling relationships.
-
Trauma can shape the way you experience emotions, relationships, trust, and safety in ways that are often difficult to explain. Therapy can help you process painful experiences, soften long-standing survival strategies, and begin to feel safer in your life and relationships.
-
Emotional dysregulation and borderline personality traits can lead to painful relationship patterns, impulsive behaviors, overwhelming emotions, and difficulty recovering after conflict or rejection. Therapy can help you better understand these experiences while developing more effective ways of coping, communicating, and responding under stress.

01
Reach Out
Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable. Our consultation is a space to talk openly about what has been feeling painful, overwhelming, or difficult to navigate, and to explore whether working together feels aligned with your needs and goals.
02
Explore
Many struggles develop within larger emotional and relational patterns that can be difficult to recognize alone. Therapy creates space to better understand these patterns while building more effective ways of responding to emotions, relationships, and stress.
03
Grow
As therapy progresses, many clients begin to feel less reactive, more connected in their relationships, and more capable of navigating difficult emotions and situations. Meaningful change happens gradually through insight, practice, and experiencing new ways of relating to yourself and others.
