As humans, we try to avoid complex emotions and hope they disappear. Suppressed emotions tend to surface over time in ways that interfere with functioning and well-being. At first, the impact is not so obvious, but over time it accumulates and worsens preexisting anxiety or depression, or compromises functioning at work and in relationships.

Therapy is a space to talk, sit in silence, or figure things out with a trained professional. It’s confidential. Over time, distress and symptoms begin to lessen. Parts that block fulfillment and progress become more accessible to change. Sometimes, challenging critical thoughts is helpful, while other times, observing them is more sustainable. Through discussion and exploration, using psychodynamic and dialectical therapies, it’s possible to relieve anxiety, depression, anger, and overwhelm, untangle complex interpersonal dynamics, and move forward toward self-trust.

As a therapist for over twenty years, Sonia brings a calm presence and clinical expertise, offering kind, on-point feedback that supports thoughtful engagement. She balances careful listening with moments of reflection and discerning questions. She works extensively with high-functioning professionals, including those in demanding and high-responsibility roles, who seek confidential, thoughtful therapy that can hold complexity without oversimplifying it.
