"I have been very fine tuned to my body my whole life as a collegiate athlete and with a heart in healthcare. I was lucky enough to have stumbled upon Sophia and absolutely fell in love! I have worked with physical therapists over the years on all levels, and I don't even think I could identify this gem in the same category. Sophia is gentle and engaged from the start. It is easy to feel her deep compassion for this work. She goes out of her way to assess each muscle from every angle. She goes above and beyond her training, to learn knowledge that most physical therapists do not have. She is persistent at making sure deep and lasting change occurs for the client. What a gift this woman is to the community."

Care that goes beyond the diagnosis
When you walk in the door, my goal is that your treatment feels personal, collaborative, and whole-body focused.
I look beyond your diagnosis or isolated tissue to understand how your entire system is functioning — your movement patterns, training history, stress, sleep, lifestyle, and goals — so I can create meaningful, lasting change.
My work goes beyond symptom relief. Together, I build strength, resilience, and confidence that lasts well beyond your time in the clinic. Most clients work with me for a few weeks to a few months, leaving equipped with the tools to take full ownership of their health.
Together, we build a stronger foundation.

Patient Stories
What patients are saying
"I've been seeing Sophia for about three years now for a variety of issues. During my initial evaluation I was impressed that she listened and took the time to thoroughly assess my condition. She explained what she thought was the root cause of my pain, and when something didn't work, she tried different approaches — always listening carefully and understanding how my symptoms were affecting my daily life. Each session was tailored to my progress, with a good balance of hands-on treatment and exercise. She was patient, encouraging, and always made sure I was using correct form to avoid further injury. What stood out most was her genuine care and commitment to my healing. I have significantly improved the mobility of my shoulder and would highly recommend Sophia for her knowledge and compassion."
"I was leaking every time I went trail running and just accepted it as normal. Sophia looked at everything — my diet, habits, sleep, and strength — not just the symptom. After just a few sessions I'm already seeing real improvements. I wish I had come sooner."
"After having my second child, I was dealing with real pain and discomfort and didn't want to just wait until my six-week checkup like my doctor recommended. Sophia got me in right away and started helping me heal so much sooner. I'm so glad I didn't wait."
"I've seen many PT's over the years but Sophia's level of expertise is unmatched. She actually listened and found the root cause of my chronic back pain. Life-changing."
