Specialty
Sophia believes caring for women through life's biggest
moments is both a privilege and a calling. As a Certified Nurse-Midwife and
Family Nurse Practitioner, she is passionate about supporting women through
pregnancy, labor and delivery, postpartum care, and contraceptive counseling
with compassion, encouragement, and personalized care. Sophia strives to create
a welcoming environment where every patient feels heard, respected, and
empowered, building lasting relationships as families grow through every stage
of their journey.
Outside the office, Sophia enjoys staying active as a
Certified Group Fitness Instructor, spending time at the beach, and making
memories with family. She's always on the hunt for a great local coffee shop
and proudly cheers on both the Virginia Tech Hokies and Vanderbilt Commodores
("Go Hokies" and "Anchor Down!"). Whether she's leading a
fitness class or welcoming a new baby into the world, Sophia brings energy,
enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for helping others.
