OCD has had a noticeable negative impact on people I care about, and I want to help prevent anyone else from suffering. My approach to OCD therapy is methodical and purposeful. I'm always curious about people and want to know as much about them as possible. Being trusted to help someone is an honor and a serious responsibility. Facing our fears and intrusive thoughts can feel scary, but you will not be alone. You can do this. My other areas of focus include homelessness and trauma.

Why our members love working with Sonya
D.A.
Sonya is an incredible therapist! She can sense when I'm getting overwhelmed and need a distraction. She is excellent at explaining OCD symptoms and encouraging me through ERP. She also is not afraid to be direct with me (in a compassionate way) about how I can live a more fulfilling life with better confidence in myself. I tell all my friends and family that ERP with Sonya has completely changed my life for the better and that I never knew my OCD could be this manageable. Highly recommend!

When I first met Sonya, it instantly felt like hanging out with my best friend. But Sonya will make you work! She’s a straight shooter will challenge you but will always meet you where you are. I have never left feeling bad about myself. She supports you both in session and outside of sessions and is a confidence beast. So, when my monsters tell me I hate therapy and should quit, I remember that I have Sonya to support me on this journey. Ps. She makes cool stickers

Sonya is just the sweetest - she has been so gentle and encouraging with me, and I feel so supported. She went out of her way to schedule an appointment with me outside of normal hours when I needed some emergency care!

She really calmed me down when I was in a panic. It's nice to have someone to talk to who doesn't judge me and who uplifts me no matter where I'm at. Thank you Sonya :')

After trying to find the right OCD therapist and feeling devastated, I got to meet with Sonya. After meeting her twice, I can say that I feel extremely hopeful. What sets her apart from other therapists is that she will try to get to know you as a person, develop a connection with you, throw in nice jokes to ease your anxiety, and really try to understand your fears, values, and cultural background/influence to treat your OCD. I am really hopeful and thankful that I have someone like her as my therapist. I feel secure and all I can say is that she is amazing. If anyone else is struggling to find the right therapist, I would recommend her. She’s the best.

After 29 years, I finally got my diagnosis. It's nice to finally get the confirmation that what I am going through was always real. The fight isn't over, but my heart feel lighter than it ever has :')

Sonya is a wonderful therapist! She always gives me the best advice and makes me feel so much better. I highly recommend seeing her!
P.D.
Sonya is simply the best! She has helped me regain control of my life. I am so thankful for all the help and support she has provided me. I never would have thought I would have been able to make this kind of progress with my OCD. Thank you
S.P.
Sonya is great! She gives me the best advice and I always feel better after my sessions <3
