Life is hard and it’s okay to not be okay. Mental health is Sonia’s passion. She’s here to help and see you thrive.
The foundational attitude and approach I bring to each time we meet is what I like to call 'therapeutic presence.'
The idea is not mine. My introduction to the practice of therapeutic presence came by wedding my natural gifts with hard work to finish degrees and residencies. These academic and clinical introductions occurred while I studied at multiple universities that awarded me degrees and/or post-licensure certificates. Some of my alma maters are the University of Texas at Arlington, Valparaiso University, Concordia College/University, St. John’s University-Seminary (MN.), the University of Missouri at Kansas City, the University of California at San Francisco.
Concurrent with studies and subsequent ranked professorial appointments over twenty years, I maintained an active clinical practice at least eight hours weekly and often more. I place high value in the knowledge I have acquired 'on the job.' Often the ones who teach me most are those who seek my care.
I am driven by a deep passion to help you as you embark on this journey to achieve optimal mental well-being. As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I provide high-quality personalized mental health care clients aged 18-99 years. I conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations through active listening, thoughtful questioning and collaboratively create treatment plans. I consider all the variable factors impacting your mental health. I have over 12 years of combined work experience. I have worked in various health care settings, including community mental health clinics, and private practice.
I treat all individuals with outmost respect, compassion, and honesty. I am offering you medication management and solution-focused psychodynamic psychotherapy treatment plan. Brief supportive therapy is incorporated into treatment sessions if needed.
I empower you to take charge of your mental health. I support you on your journey to restore balance back into your

As a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist with expertise in both medication management and psychotherapy, I can help patients develop a treatment plan that meets their needs. My style is guided by warmth and flexibility, with the goals of helping patients build insight and reduce symptoms.
