In my work with couples, adults, and teens, Sonia’s hope is that clients will leave therapy confident in their strengths, equipped to make wise choices, and empowered to maintain healthier lives and relationships. She works to alleviate negative symptoms within the context of current circumstances, help identify the root of challenges, and modify unhealthy cognitive and emotional processes. Sonia’s interventions help clients break through an impasse and equip them with practical solutions for future problem solving. She offers targeted, short-term counseling or in-depth therapy that identifies and replaces negative patterns. In couples counseling, Sonia helps partners break negative cycles, learn effective communication skills, build deeper connection, co-parent effectively after divorce, or heal after an affair. She uses Dr. Gottman's research and other approaches, customizing treatment with questionnaires that speed up the process and give a clear picture of strengths and deficits. She also conducts premarital counseling assessments. Sonia offers eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), a physiologically-based therapy for the treatment of conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, complicated grief, and adult or childhood trauma.

I understand how debilitating and scary social anxiety, depression, and loneliness can feel. Struggling to get out of bed in the morning, fear of what others will think, or feeling like the only person who doesn't fit in can make somebody want to hide and never come out. I also offer walking sessions to help clients get outdoors. I believe isolation and negative thinking are key components in depression. Part of my goal in therapy is to help clients raise awareness of their behaviors and recognize the lies they tell themselves. I want clients to feel comfortable working at their own pace.  I also have a teen processing and hiking group that meets throughout the year for 10 weeks at a time.   This group meets once a week for 10 weeks to process what’s happening in group members’ lives and learn new skills to deal with anxiety, stress, depression, family issues, and more. Once a month, we go on a hike or do something fun outdoors. Who: Eight maximum high school guys. Where: My office for weekly sessions and TBD for monthly outings. When: Once a week for skills and processing group and once a month for outdoor hiking or fun activity. Cost: $50 per group session and $60 per outdoor activity.
