I am grateful for the counseling sessions with Sonya. She created a safe, warm, and welcoming space where I felt completely heard and understood. She is an exceptional listener—not just hearing words but tuning in with empathy and care.
Sonya was relatable. It didn’t feel like textbook advice; it felt real, human, and deeply genuine. Her unbiased nature made it easier for me to open up.
She thoughtfully wove in spiritual relevance, which was incredibly grounding and aligned perfectly with where I am in my journey. Her words were encouraging, and she offered just the right mix of affirmation and gentle guidance. She gave compliments that felt sincere and timely—just when I needed a reminder of my own strength.
More than anything, I left the session feeling lighter, clearer, and more hopeful. She didn’t just counsel—she connected. I highly recommend Sonya to anyone looking for a supportive, relatable, and spiritually aware guide through the challenges of marriage and personal growth.

I scheduled appt and did all the paperwork ahead of time. Waited and waited. Contacted by email and phone multiple times and never heard back.

I had an appointment on Tuesday June 3rd and the Dr never saw me nor did she send any reason why she wasn’t able to see me. I called 9x and no answer this is ridiculous. Will never book again and I DO NOT RECOMMEND that anyone book with this Doctor.

I cannot say enough good things about Sonya. She is an extraordinary therapist—truly gifted, compassionate, and deeply attuned to the needs of those she supports.
Throughout our time working together, Sonya has helped me navigate some of the most challenging periods of my life—from intense work stress to complex family dynamics. No matter what I brought into our sessions, she created a safe, nonjudgmental space where I felt heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
Her guidance provided clarity in critical moments and helped me avoid decisions I would have deeply regretted. Sonya’s ability to bring calm and insight during emotional chaos is nothing short of remarkable.
I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a therapist who is not only highly skilled but also has the most genuine heart. She cares deeply for her clients and their well-being in a way that truly makes all the difference.

I’ve never felt so seen, valued & heard until I started therapy with Ms. Sonya!
Receiving therapy from her has been a safe space for me to truly get the healing I deserve without judgment or fear. She creates an environment that allows me to feel comfortable with being vulnerable about my past and present life.
She has a bright spirit and light, which reminds me that true happiness is possible and can happen for me too. She truly believes that I can overcome my trauma and live a life that is healthy and whole inspite of bad experiences.
She starts and ends with a prayer and is Christian based, which is a PLUS for me :)
I’m so blessed to have found her!

Sessions with Sonya were life-changing! Sonya represents her profession well. She creates a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space. I felt heard and understood. Her insight, compassion, and professionalism is paramount. She helped me navigate some of the most difficult challenges in my life with strength and clarity. She’s not only an excellent listener but also offers thoughtful guidance and practical tools that I continue to use every day. I’m so grateful to have found her! I've recommended her to others and they have all thanked me for the recommendation... after they had previously given up on therapy.

Sonya is a phenomenal therapist with impeccable insight. Her ability to employ practical and biblical wisdom to uncover and address complex issues from the root instead of simply focusing on the symptoms is profound. I have benefited greatly from my sessions with her, having identified and began to heal the wounds affecting my psychological, emotional and spiritual core. I am so grateful for her unique practice. She is warm yet direct, compassionate, relatable and solution oriented. Five stars ?? are not a sufficient reflection of the value she provides but I guess it will have to do!
