About
Hi there, I'm Sonia! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with over two decades of experience working with individuals who are seeking personal growth and change in their lives. My approach I use a variety of person-centered approaches to assist my clients. My focus I have specialized experience in working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, recovering from trauma, and/or are navigating career or other major life changes. I celebrate diversity and welcome clients from the LGBTQ community. I support individuals who are seeking recovery from serious mental illness and/or substance use disorders or have a loved one who is in or in need of recovery. My communication style My intention is to create a safe and affirming space for all. My journey to therapy I went to school to earn a counseling degree over 25 years ago so that I could learn to develop better communication skills and be helpful to others in the community. I am so grateful for how much my life has changed because of my own personal journey and work that I have done to be able to be present for others in my life. We're all here to help each other and to feel part of a community. Sometimes life gets overwhelming. You are not alone! If you are struggling, let's talk and help you find meaningful connections again! My goals for you We will explore the goals that you create for yourself. My first session with you We'll talk about why you are seeking counseling and how I can help you.
