Our mental health deserves the same care and attention as our physical well-being. I strive to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow. Together, we’ll work toward understanding your experiences, healing past wounds, and creating impactful change. I’m here for you every step of the way, offering support, understanding, and guidance as you work toward clarity, healing, and balance.
Our first session is about connection, getting to know you, understanding your goals, and creating a space that feels safe and supportive to begin your healing work. During the first session, I will ask relevant background questions and provide support. We will work together to establish your treatment goals and address the best ways to heal and grow during the therapeutic process.
Growing up in a multicultural environment helped me appreciate how deeply culture and life transitions can shape our emotions, relationships, and sense of self. I bring this understanding into every session, meeting you with empathy and curiosity. I understand some of the challenges that come with moving, adapting to cultures and new environments.
I specialize in supporting individuals who are struggling with depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, borderline personality disorder (BPD), anger, and challenges with emotional regulation. My approach is gentle yet grounded in evidence-based practices, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). I believe in meeting you where you are, helping you understand your emotions, and building the tools to feel more balanced, connected, and at peace.

She's seems very knowledgable about symptoms and not thrown off by big emotions or psych history. She has practical guidance and can offer work to do before your next session, which I need and love!!! She has a very chill demeanor, kind of like that "cool, whatever" friend, which threw me off at first. But it was very helpful when I started having negative thoughts about what or how I was sharing. Excited to work with her again!!!

I truly have had a wonderful experience with Sona. I have been working with her for over a year now & have noticed major changes in my overthinking, reactions to others & attachment style. She is kind, patient & genuinely invested in my well-being. From the start, she created a safe, welcoming space where I felt comfortable opening up. Her insight has helped me grow in ways I never knew I could. I am deeply grateful for her care & I would highly recommend her to anyone.
