More about Sonia
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
I am a licensed psychologist in California. I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My approach to therapy is integrative and holistic— mainly informed through psychodynamic (insight-oriented), somatic (body-focused), interpersonal approaches. In sessions, we might focus on exploring patterns that are contributing to your current concerns (e.g. childhood experiences or family relationships, defenses, previous similar situations), your relationship patterns with others and your relationship with yourself, somatic movement/exercises, or processing and understanding your emotions. At times, I will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) if it is a better fit for what you might be seeking therapy for. Regardless of the approach we use, the focus will always be on empowerment, agency, and developing a stronger relationship with yourself.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
