About Sonya
I'm so glad you found your way here.
​​
My name is Sonya, and I offer individual counseling services grounded in narrative, mindfulness, and nature-based approaches. I work with individuals who are navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, or spiritual awakenings — and who are ready to reclaim a deeper sense of meaning, belonging, and wholeness.​
​
As a therapist, I believe in the power of story. Together, we explore the personal narratives that shape your identity, relationships, and inner world — gently uncovering the threads that no longer serve you, and weaving new stories rooted in strength, resilience, and possibility.​
​
Receiving my own late ADHD diagnosis brought new meaning and perspective to my life and my work. It helped me understand myself with greater compassion and curiosity, and it continues to shape how I move through the world. I’m always learning—about where or when I’m masking, how my brain thrives, and what it needs to feel supported. This lived experience deepens the empathy and flexibility I bring to my work with other neurodivergent clients.
​
Mindfulness is an essential part of this process. It invites us to slow down and listen — to our breath, to the sensations in our bodies, to the quiet truths that often go unheard in the rush of daily life. In our work together, mindfulness might look like pausing to feel your feet on the ground, noticing the rhythm of your nervous system, or gently turning toward difficult emotions with curiosity rather than judgment. These practices help you come into deeper contact with your inner landscape — building awareness, compassion, and the capacity to respond rather than react.
Nature is also a wise and steady co-guide in this work. Whether through mindful connection to the land, seasonal rhythms, or embodied practices outdoors, I invite the natural world into our sessions as both mirror and medicine — a reminder that healing doesn’t have to happen inside four walls.
This is a space where all parts of you are welcome — your grief and your longing, your wisdom and your questions, your stillness and your fire.
Let’s walk together for a while.
