Hello! Does it seem overwhelming and maybe a little bit odd to be searching for a therapist? I get it! Please allow me to introduce myself to you. My name is Sonja (rhymes with "lasagna"). I enjoyed working with children and their families for 15 years, and then I transitioned to the medical field, where I was blessed to continue my growth within a variety of settings. My husband and I have one spoiled dog, Bo, a boxer-hound mix, who brings lots of laughs to our home. My specialties include working with a variety of age ranges, from teens to senior adults. I can help people who are dealing with symptoms of anxiety and/or depression find ways to cope. Those who are struggling with adoption issues may need extra support and assistance as they sort through their feelings. Caregivers who are feeling overwhelmed with life can find a peaceful place to land during our sessions. I particularly enjoy providing Christian-based counseling, as that is an important part of who I am. I believe that laughing about life with my patients can help us explore together what may be on their hearts and minds. NOTE: I hope to offer in-person sessions soon, but for now, I will only be seeing patients via the telehealth format.

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

In our first session, I will gather some background information, so we can form goals. At the end of the first session, I will ask if you feel that I am a good fit for you and your needs. If so, we will plan the frequency of visits and will usually schedule your next session.

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

One of my biggest strengths is the enjoyment I have in helping people. If I don't know something, I will be honest and tell you, but I will also find an answer or will refer you appropriately. I want you to look forward to our time together. ***If you are ready to proceed with scheduling an initial appointment, please select a 60-minute time slot to allow for a thorough assessment. If you are scheduling a follow-up (routine) session, please select a 45-minute time slot. Thank you!
