A seemingly simple act of kindness can be a profoundly healing thing. Sonja’s diverse nursing background has shown her that we are all one step, one accident, one situation away from something impacting our mental health. This sense of how unique we all are is what informs and motivates Sonja’s practice. She loves people’s stories: learning about their culture, backgrounds, and journies in a way that illuminates the “why” of who they are.

This passion led Sonja to return to her education and earn her second Master’s in Nursing, this time as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, which allows her to put these strengths to use directly where they will be most effective—mental healthcare. She demonstrates this by reaching those who are most in need of care, such as children, adolescents, peri/postnatal patients, and substance use populations. Sonja uses an empathetic approach to provide holistic, individualized treatment for her patients.

She is able to provide diagnostic assessments, medication management, and psychotherapy for all ages. She believes in working together as a team—that it is important for patients to bring ideas and suggestions they believe can help improve or impact their mental health. Sonja’s role in her patient’s mental health is a part of a larger picture of who they are, and Sonja works with people to help care for that entire person. She doesn’t simply offer psychiatric services, she offers people encouragement, kindness, and support.
