Sonya has helped me tremendously over the past several months. She has educated and enlightened me on past traumas that I may have experienced but never fully realized. She is always considerate, and she listens extensively.

I am an LPC/MHSP with 7 years of work experience. I have worked with children, teenagers and adults throughout my career. I have been working with adults who are in recovery and trying to reunite with their children. I am a strengths based clinician and I understand how trauma can effect our responses. I have worked with clients who have anxiety, depression, trauma, decreased self-esteem, parenting issues, and stress. I would love the opportunity to hear from you and to help you heal!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I’ve found her to be a great listener & to be straight to the point
Excellent. Definitely work with her!
She is very patient and knowledgeable. I don’t trust easily but I feel that I can trust her. I also feel she is experienced in dealing with my level of trauma and knows the steps to take. Taking it slow instead of jumping right into heavy stuff.
Couldn’t ask for better. Very glad I matched with her.
Sonya is the best! She challenges me when I need to be and supports me at the same time!
Sonya is thoughtful and incredibly authentic. I appreciate every bit of her advice and how effortlessly she creates an atmosphere of familiarity and understanding. Id recommend her to anyone and everyone! Thank you, Sonya!
Sonya guided me through a healing journey that I would have never have dreamed I could have achieved. She believed in me, gave me the tools to heal and offered a loving nudge when needed. We laughed, I cried (IYKYK), but most importantly, she cared for me in all versions of myself as I opened up to her. I will forever be grateful for her and her role she has played in creating this new version of awesome ME!
Sonya has helped me in so many ways over only a short amount of time. My anxiety has decreased and confidence increased which was a few of my goals. I feel safe sharing anything and everything with her and we can also make things light and funny during our sessions. I appreciate her a lot!
Really like Sonya. Made progress already.
Very understanding & non-judgmental. Helps me develop my coping skills
She is absolutely wonderful
Sonya has listened and been supportive. She understands the trauma I’ve been through doesn’t push. She makes it easy to trust without judgement. I appreciate that she’s very responsive and attentive .
