"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 above and beyond her training, to learn knowledge that most physical therapists do not have. 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. 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."
"After my second baby I had a difficult labor and a lot of pelvic floor symptoms postpartum, and I really didn't want to just sit around until my six-week appointment. Sophia got me in right away and I started feeling better so much faster. 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."
