(she/her)
I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with doctoral level experience (DNP) who takes great pride in caring for her patients as if they were loved ones. I work diligently to build a relaxed environment so that you can feel at ease discussing your concerns without fear of judgment. With over a decade of experience in healthcare, I found my passion in the virtual setting and have had the opportunity to work with patients for the past three years from all over the country. I believe that being able to see you in an environment where you feel most comfortable is crucial for promoting mental health and wellness. **As a reminder, virtual care providers are only able to prescribe non-controlled medications for all mental health conditions. Sessions are video sessions and do require video throughout the session, but cannot be performed in public spaces without headphones on, or while you are driving. **Psychiatry providers are unable to prescribe any controlled substances such as benzodiazepines (Xanax, Klonopin, Valium), hypnotics (Ambien, Lunesta), or Stimulants (Vyvanse, Adderall, Concerta, Ritalin, Focalin), etc per federal regulation**
Expect to discuss your mental health history, how things are going currently, and your goals for the future of your treatment. I like to work on treatment goals first thing so we know if this good fit for you, and will make appropriate referrals if necessary so you get the best care available without wasting your time and money.
We specialize in helping clients cope with stressful diagnoses such as cancers, diabetes, terminal illnesses, STD/STIs, and mental illnesses. It can be difficult struggling with a new diagnosis and not having anyone to talk to. Even something as simple as filling out medical history paperwork for the first time after a new diagnosis can bring up all kinds of feelings. A new diagnosis does not have to be daunting or defining! We are devoted to patient-centered and compassionate care.
I'm open to discussing your needs as a client and sharing my abilities as a prescriber and therapist. I feel that your comfort is critical because you need to be able to feel safe being vulnerable while we communicate, especially in the virtual care setting. With this in mind, I enjoy working with clients regardless of age, but for those under 18-years of age, parents/guardians need to be sure to keep our appoint schedules in mind to prevent no-shows.

I enjoy spending time helping my clients understand their diagnoses, explaining medications, and discussing the estimated length of treatment. This is so we can really be a treatment team, and you can be fully involved and invested in your care plan!

Sonia drew out of me the deeper issues that needed to be addressed. She was understanding when I had tech problems and went overtime to make sure we concluded with a game plan. I felt seen and understood by her after only one session. Her sense of humor left me feeling lighter, despite having opened up about difficult things. I am grateful to have found such a gem of a provider!
