Greetings, I'm Sonya There are times when we all experience a loss of our sense of self. You may feel like you’re on a journey but aren’t quite sure which turn to take next. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, confused, sad, angry—or simply “blah.” You may have great friends, watch self-help TikToks, and try to figure things out on your own, yet still find yourself not feeling okay or unsure of where to turn.

I have a passion for working with individuals that struggle with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, ADHD, and relationship issues.

I bring a calm, accepting, and relatable presence to therapy, which allows me to build meaningful connections with my clients. I provide a judgment-free environment centered on calmness, peace, and support, where you can feel comfortable being yourself, expressing your thoughts and emotions, and knowing that you are heard. Together, we will explore and process the experiences, thoughts, and situations that may be impacting your emotional well-being and daily life. My goal is to empower you to develop practical strategies, strengthen your coping skills, and gain greater confidence in navigating life’s challenges. You don’t have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. Sometimes, you simply need a safe place to start. I look forward to walking alongside you as you work toward greater clarity, balance, and a more peaceful resolution.

First session

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Strengths

I believe one of my greatest strengths is being able to connect with people and help them feel comfortable being themselves. I’m calm, relatable, and easy to talk to, and I want therapy to feel like a space where you can exhale and say what you’re really thinking without worrying about being judged. I’m also not the type of therapist who will just sit back and ask, “How does that make you feel?” We’ll talk, laugh when appropriate, work through the difficult stuff, and sometimes challenge the thoughts and patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I meet you where you are, but I’ll also encourage you to move toward where you want to be. My goal is for you to leave our sessions not only feeling heard and supported, but also with greater insight and practical tools you can actually use in your everyday life.

Ideal clients

I love working with individuals that want change but unsure where to start. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious.

Sonya was very nice and understanding with all that I had to say. She is working on a plan to help me move through some of the issues we addressed.

This is after my first appt with Sonya: she is very kind and warm. I felt that I had space to talk and she listened well and reinforced multiple times that it was my space which left me feeling safe to open up. I feel like she sets realistic expectations and I’m looking forward to our future appointments.
