Sophia specializes in supporting individuals navigating challenges with focus, organization, emotional regulation, and learning.
Like any parent, Sophia has always wanted the very best for her two sons. When her youngest was diagnosed with dyslexia and began struggling with reading and writing, she set out to find tools that would truly help him succeed. That search led her to The Gift of Dyslexia—a discovery that changed her life. Shortly after, her son attended a Davis Foundations for Reading Program, the transformation was profound. His skills improved, but even more importantly, his confidence soared. Seeing his discouragement replaced by a “can-do” attitude inspired Sophia to become a licensed facilitator herself.
During her training, Sophia was surprised to experience her own growth. She became more confident, focused, and organized—better able to express herself and recognize the ways she had unconsciously been compensating for dyslexia. This personal journey fuels her deep empathy and commitment to others walking a similar path.
Today, Sophia works with clients in her Bothell, Washington office, makes home visits throughout Washington and Alaska, and also meets with students online.
She has two areas of special passion:
- Elementary students: those who are just beginning to read but feel discouraged by phonics and all those rules and exceptions you are supposed to memorize. Sophia loves seeing their joy as letters on the page finally gain meaning, and their confidence blossoms.
- Autistic young adults who are searching for their next steps in life but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or held back by executive functioning challenges. Supporting them as they build confidence, reduce overwhelm, and take on new responsibilities with pride is one of the greatest privileges of her work.
At the heart of Sophia’s approach is a belief that every person has the right and the potential to thrive. She sees learning as a joyful and empowering process, and her clients often share how much they appreciate her compassion, attentive listening, and nonjudgmental presence—a safe space where they feel free to learn, grow, and make mistakes.
Sophia works with children, teens, and adults, both in person and online.
She offers a complimentary 30-minute call to help families and individuals explore whether a Davis® program may be the right fit.
