It is my pleasure and joy to use my gift passionately to educate, enlighten and empower. To help define what has you stuck, how to better relate to others and manage the continual changes life throws your way so you can become unstuck and balance your life. I am a trauma focused LCSW clinical therapist with a passionate talent to help you get through past traumas and hurts that have been holding you down to help you soar.
First session you will get to engage with me and we will recognize a comfort level for working together if we decide we are a perfect fit.
I am passionate, knowledgeable,,well-informed, empathetic, understanding and a great listener who wants to help and understand and see you thrive!
I am best positioned to serve those who desire being their best self, and open to learn how to do so and apply tools in everyday life. I am eager to assist those on their journey for growth and change. Those who want to put in consistent, attainable work can create sustainable goals to uplift themselves and recognize their issues even if unable to completely define them! I work well with adults and senior populations.

If you want someone who is going to tell it like is, while also helping you understand your feelings then Sonya is the therapist to go to.

I would recommend her to anybody that I know that would need therapy. She is very nice intelligent and empowering. She makes you think she has just been a great asset since I started talking to her to help me heal and to figure out things that have been wrong with myself and just different ways and telling me directly it’s been a joy.
