In her free time, Sonya continues to enjoy engaging in her own movement practice, working as a certified Pilates instructor, and spending time with her cat.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Sonya strives to create a safe space for clients to be their authentic self and find ways to continue their growth within the therapeutic relationship, which starts in the first session. Building rapport, getting to know each other and engaging in conversation about different aspects of the therapeutic process can be expected in our first session together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Sonya’s specialties include body based approaches, including movement and dance, but don’t let that scare you away! Sometimes the smallest engagement with movement, such as breathing, rubbing your palm or tapping your fingertips can be empowering.
