It takes courage to invite someone into your life to be a partner on your journey to healing. I view your willingness to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with me as a privilege. Whether it’s your first time in therapy or you are returning to therapy, building a new therapeutic relationship takes time and honest conversation. I use a variety of approaches and in my role, I will work with you to find what is the best fit for you. I have experience working with LGBTQ and BIPOC individuals, and individuals who experience depression, anxiety, life transitions and relationship challenges. I have worked in higher education, and as a former School Social Worker I have extensive knowledge of school interventions such as IEP, Behavioral Interventions Plans, and 504 plans. I am skilled in working with adolescents with emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges and their families. My experience has taught me that we all encounter challenges throughout our lifetime. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey.

Sona is amazing and actually listens and wants to help you on your journey. I love my days I get to talk to her I know there won't be any judgment or anything. It's honestly like catching up with an old friend and she just let's you talk about everything that might be going on. You can just feel that she truly cares.

Sona is just amazing. She has helped me grow and learn a lot about myself over the last 3 years. I truly would not be where I am today without her! I have recommended Lifestance to many of my friends, thanks for the great care!

Sona was great. If my insurance wasn’t such a jerk, I would have had a lot more sessions. Thanks Sona
