Hi there, I'm Sonya!

Life can be challenging, and at times, it may feel like the weight is too much to carry. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or working through past traumas, seeking support is a sign of strength—not weakness. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported from the very first session.

My focus

I help adults move through anxiety, depression, trauma, and tobacco addiction so they can overcome the obstacles in their lives and rediscover a sense of purpose. I also have a special passion for supporting prenatal and postpartum women, as well as military service members, who often face unique stressors and emotional experiences.

My approach

I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as it focuses on addressing existing symptoms and making changes. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for the treatment of trauma. I am trained in several approaches and will use the best approach for your needs.
