Hey, I’m Sofia
Areas I Can Support You With
Emotional insight & nervous system regulation
Tools for stress, burnout, and overwhelm
Boundaries, communication, and identity work
Life transitions, grief, and personal growth
Creative expression and story-based healing
Spiritual exploration and faith deconstruction
Gentle, non-clinical support through a trauma-aware lens
I'm a counsellor and coach offering non-clinical, holistic support for those navigating life transitions, burnout, identity work, and emotional healing. I don’t diagnose or treat mental health disorders—I walk with clients in their healing process with tools, reflection, and compassion.
Here’s what makes my approach unique:
This means:
You won’t be sitting in a stuffy, “clinical” space
I will collaborate with you
My approach is welcoming and approachable
I bring an eclectic blend of techniques
I see YOU as the expert of your life and see my role as a support and guide
I keep things human.
I embrace the holistic perspective.
This means:
I care about the WHOLE picture of your life
The root issues are just as important as the symptoms you may be experiencing
I address the mind, body, AND soul
My hope is to provide sustainable tips and tools
This means:
I will follow your lead (no pressure!)
I will tailor our approach to you (your personality, learning style, and goals)
I can connect with you in-person, over video, or on the phone
Whether it’s your 1st or your 100th time, we will ease in
I meet you where you’re at.

This is a great question! You can read more about this on our blog post “Counselling vs. Coaching.”
-
Yes, we offer both. Currently, Sofia is our only counsellor offering in-person sessions. Our virtual sessions take place on a secure virtual platform called Teletherapy.io.
-
This depends on the clinician you are working with and what service you are engaging in. All insurance plans are different and we cannot guarantee coverage. Prior to your first session, it is best to follow up with your insurance company to see if you are covered for Counselling, Psychotherapy, and/or Health and Nutrition Counselling (if you are a Health Coaching client).
-
Psychotherapy sessions with Carmen are $160 per 60-minute session. Counselling with Sofia is $150 per 60-minute session. Coaching with Sofia is $200 per session.
What I CAN offer you:
Emotional clarity & self-awareness
Coping tools for stress, burnout, anxiety, life transitions
Creative and expressive practices
Nervous system regulation techniques
Support for spiritual or faith-based reflection
What I do NOT provide:
Clinical diagnosis or treatment of mental health disorders
Psychotherapy or trauma reprocessing for PTSD, complex trauma, or acute mental illness
Prescriptive mental health services (e.g., EMDR, CBT for clinical disorders)
how do you feel?
“don't run away
from heavy emotions
honor the anger;
give pain the space
it needs to breathe
this is how we let go”

What Our Client’s Are Saying
“Sofia is a gift in the world of therapy and counselling. She has worked hard to create a safe space for people to unpack and sort through the complexities and heavy things of life. Her office space is aesthetically beautiful and puts you at ease the minute you walk in with its beauty and cozy atmosphere.”
“Warmth and comfort are two words that sum up my experience with Sofia and Lux Counselling. Sofia is the type of person that you instantly feel like you can spill your life story too. And she gets it when you inevitably do….that’s what you’re there for after all! She has also been very intentional in creating a space that makes you feel welcome as you are.”
“I appreciate Lux Counselling immensely. Sofia operates from intentionality and safety. She not only is an incredible listener, who validates and affirms, but she gives practical tools that aid to live a more holistic, and healthy lifestyle. I would send anyone to Lux Counselling, no matter what walk of life they may be in.”
“As soon as I walked into Lux Counselling Collective, I was overwhelmed with peace and a feeling of joy. Sofia has made her space welcoming, and relaxing. It really set the tone for a great counselling session. I felt heard, and cared for. It was a safe space to let go of some grief that was weighing me down. Thank you, Lux!”
