Your Story…
Held in Bloom.
A safe space to tend
to your inner garden.
The Approach
Healing begins in the space where your story meets your body’s wisdom. My work welcomes both into the room. I am a Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist, blending trauma healing with energy work to help you meet every part of yourself with compassion.
I also specialize in supporting autistic adults in unmasking, untangling internalized ableism, and stepping into authenticity. Together, we gently explore the survival strategies that once protected you, while creating space for your nervous system, communication style, and sensory needs to be honored rather than suppressed. This work is about coming home to yourself — not becoming someone new, but allowing who you have always been to exist with more self-trust.
Every path here is collaborative. You bring your truth, I bring presence and skill, and together we cultivate the ground where wholeness can take root and bloom.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
A compassionate approach to healing the inner world, where every part of you has a voice and a role. Through guided exploration, fragmented or protective aspects find safety and belonging, creating an inner ecosystem rooted in Self-leadership and trust.
Rather than pathologizing symptoms, we become curious about the strategies that once helped you survive. Protectors are honored for their devotion, exiled parts are met with care, and burdens carried for years can begin to soften. As your system experiences more internal safety, reactivity decreases and clarity grows. What emerges is not perfection, but coherence — an inner relationship built on compassion, confidence, and choice.
Psychedelic
Integration
A bridge between profound experiences and everyday life, turning insight into embodied wisdom. Together we anchor expanded states into your nervous system, transforming revelations into grounded change that supports growth, clarity, and resilience.
I have spent over 1,000 hours holding grounded, attuned space for individuals receiving ketamine, supporting them as they navigate vulnerable inner terrain. My own healing journey has included work with ayahuasca, wachuma, psilocybin mushrooms, and ketamine, deepening my respect for both the power of these experiences and the responsibility of integration.
Sessions are collaborative and responsive to your needs. The intention is steady and clear: to help insight become embodied, sustainable, and truly your own.
Autistic Empowerment
An informed, affirming approach to understanding the autistic experience. I meet people where they are, honoring both strengths and challenges. I support autistic adults in unmasking, exploring internalized ableism, and reconnecting with their authentic ways of being. Together, we make space for sensory needs, communication styles, and nervous system patterns to be understood and honored.
Guidance is also available for those curious about their own neurodivergence and clinicians seeking consultation.
I also offer educational presentations that deepen awareness and foster meaningful connection. Featured at the following conferences: Autism Society of Minnesota, Minnesota Social Services Association and Saint Louis Couty Public Health and Human Services.

About Sophie
How I Got Here
I guide people through deep transformation using evidence-based therapy, trauma-informed care, and integrative healing practices. My approach is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, Psychedelic Integration, and somatic tools that help the mind and body reconnect in safety. I hold certifications in IFS, Reiki, Trauma-Conscious Yoga Teacher Training, (see below for a complete list), and I continue to train with leaders in the fields of neuroscience, trauma recovery, and spiritual growth.
Each session is tailored to the individual—honoring your lived experience while providing practical, science-backed pathways for lasting change. Whether we’re working on integrating a psychedelic experience, building internal harmony, or embracing neurodivergence, my work is about helping you find clarity, compassion, and sustainable healing.
