Sonia is a compassionate and experienced professional who uses EMDR, DBT, CBT, and emotion-focused therapies to help individuals that are facing difficulties in their personal relationships, are suffering from anxiety, depression, effects of trauma, low self-esteem, or other mood/personality disorders.
My mission is to provide compassionate and evidence-based mental health services tailored to each individual. I focus on core emotional experience and pull in other methods depending on my clients’ goals. Some of the tools I have expertise in include EMDR, DBT, CBT, emotion focused exercises, and somatic therapies.
I believe that each person already has in them the natural desire to grow, and that is what therapy with me is all about: personal growth.
