She earned her PhD in Clinical Psychology from Florida State University in 2026 and completed her clinical internship at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Eating Disorders Center and UCSD Center for Healthy Eating and Activity Research. She has been working with people with eating disorders for seven years, and uses evidence-based treatment approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and cognitive processing therapy (CPT) for post-traumatic stress.

She has specialized training in CBT approaches for gastrointestinal symptoms and for ARFID. She takes a person-centered, collaborative approach to therapy and balances meeting clients where they are at with supporting continued behavior change.

Outside of work, Sophie enjoys spending time with her cat, hiking, and reading.
