About Sophia

Sophia specializes in supporting individuals navigating challenges with focus, organization, emotional regulation, and learning—helping them discover their strengths and build the confidence to thrive.

A Personal Journey That Changed Everything 

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 would change not only her son’s life, but her own.

Shortly after, her son attended a Davis Foundations for Reading Program. The transformation was profound. His skills improved dramatically, but even more importantly, his confidence soared. Watching his discouragement melt away and seeing it replaced by a genuine “can-do” attitude was nothing short of remarkable. It was in those moments—witnessing her son reclaim his joy in learning—that Sophia knew she wanted to help other families experience the same breakthrough. She became a licensed Davis facilitator.

What Sophia didn’t expect was how much her own life would change during the training process. She became more confident, focused, and organized—better able to express herself and recognize the subtle ways she had unconsciously been compensating for dyslexia throughout her life. This personal journey deepened her empathy and fueled her commitment to walking alongside others on similar paths.

Supporting Growth Where It Matters Most

Today, Sophia works with clients in her Woodinville, Washington office, makes home visits throughout Washington and Alaska, and also meets with students online. She has two areas of special passion:

Elementary students who are just beginning to read but feel discouraged by phonics and all those rules and exceptions they’re supposed to memorize. Sophia loves witnessing the moment when letters on the page finally gain meaning—when a child’s face lights up with understanding and their confidence begins to blossom.

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.

A Safe Space to Learn and Grow

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, not a source of shame or frustration. 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 for their unique needs and goals.
