LMFT, 15 years of experience
New to Grow
Sonja is caring, compassionate and gentle as a therapist. Sonja has received education through graduate school program at Antioch University, Los Angeles where she earned a Masters of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology, specializing in Marriage & Family Therapy. She has worked in both County and group private practice to provide therapy services. She believes that every individual holds the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change. Her therapy approach is person-centered, meeting you where you are with warmth, respect, and genuine curiosity about your unique story. She strives to create a safe and affirming space where your voice is heard, your strengths are honored, and your goals guide the process.
My style is collaborative and supportive—I see therapy as a partnership where we work side-by-side to uncover possibilities, nurture your strengths, and help you create the life you envision. In our work together, I integrate evidence-based practices from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you develop practical tools for managing challenges, building emotional resilience, and fostering healthier patterns of thinking and relating. Whether we are working on coping skills, exploring self-compassion, or navigating life transitions, my focus is on empowering you to move toward greater self-understanding, balance, and fulfillment.

My goal is to support you in feeling empowered and encouraged following each session.
The sessions are your time to feel heard and take the lead in your care and support. We will start right where you are upon joining the room.
