Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Sonya, a licensed therapist who believes healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. I bring an open mind and genuine curiosity to every session, because your story deserved to be heard without judgment. While we’ll dig deep into the challenges you’re facing, I also use humor to remind you that growth can be lighter and more human. My approach is all about helping you discover your own resilience and power, even when it feels out of reach. Together, we’ll build a path forward that feels authentic, balanced, and empowering.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy should feel like a safe, welcoming space where you can just be yourself—messy, complicated, funny, or anything in between, I bring an open mind and a little humor into our work, because healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to help you see your own strength and give you the tools that create the changes you want in your life. Together, we’ll work side by side to build more balance, confidence, and joy in your everyday life.
