I support couples, families, and individuals ages 18 and up struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, codependency, trauma, substance use, chronic illness, and relationship difficulties.
Healing starts with understanding why we do what we do. I provide a secure space to uncover the patterns keeping you stuck, helping you bridge the gap between your past experiences and your present goals. Together, we’ll develop the awareness you need to live—and love—with more intention and less reactivity.

Sessions target maladaptive thoughts and the emotions and behaviors they trigger, including substance use and relationship strain.
Do you worry about the future... not enjoying things you used to, procrastination, sudden panic attacks, or constant dread? You may feel stuck, overwhelmed by self-criticism, unsure why patterns repeat, or disconnected from purpose. You want clarity, relief from mental turmoil, practical tools to manage anxiety and mood, and insight into root causes so you can choose differently, feel lighter, and live with more meaning.

I specialize in working with adults navigating mental health & substance use challenges.
Hi there! I’m Soni — a proud Traders Point native and graduate of Covenant Christian High School, Purdue University, and Butler University. My journey into the world of therapy has been shaped by deep-rooted connections to my community and a lifelong passion for helping others discover their inner strength. In my downtime, you’ll likely find me belting out Disney karaoke, binge-watching classic TV shows like I Love Lucy or I Dream of Jeannie, wandering Eagle Creek, enjoying quiet evenings with my family, or cozied up at home with my two beloved cats. These small joys ground me — and I believe in helping my clients find theirs too.

I have 43 years experience counseling people with relationship issues; couples with family and marital problems; parents needing help with teens; straight and gay/lesbian couples wanting a healthier relationship. Relationship problems trigger issues like low self esteem, depression, and anxiety. I believe that most unhappiness stems from one or more problem relationships. My ideal client is tired of others trying to control or change them through behaviors like criticism, nagging, threatening, blaming, and complaining. And, my ideal client is one who wants to stop using these same behaviors that are harmful to their relationships.

Do you keep revealing to yourself and your loved ones that you are not the person you want to be? Have you kept yourself so hidden from others that now you have difficulty knowing who you are or what you want? Most likely, you have adapted over the years to challenges, maybe traumas, which have helped you survive. Except, those adaptations aren't serving you anymore, and they are actually making things worse. Perhaps you're afraid it's too late, that too much damage has been done. You believe the REAL YOU is hidden somewhere, you just need support finding yourself and living into your highest potential.

As a therapist and member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I innately value the individual combination of identities that each of my clients may hold and how these identities uniquely intersect to shape the experiences that influence their lives. I strive to maintain a stance of cultural humility, believing that identity is a personal experience for each and every one of us, and there is always more to be known and acknowledged. I approach therapy from an attachment-based relational framework when working with all clients. I believe that change occurs in the context of a safe, secure, and trusting relationship.

People seek therapy for a multitude of reasons, often complex ones. I work with clients to acknowledge the complex situations and reasons that brought them to my counseling room, and to identify solutions to implement in order to move forward. Don't allow the complexity of a situation to make you think it's impossible to solve. I work best with folks who take change seriously, knowing that it takes changing your thoughts and actions to promote change in your life. I like assigning assignments both inside and outside of session, as I believe this brings about sustainable and longstanding change.
