Compassionate Support
Empowering you to uncover your inner strength
MY STORY
Sonia began her career in the health and fitness industry, working in corporate fitness and country clubs before launching her own fitness consulting and personal training business. After becoming a mother of three, she transitioned to being a stay-at-home mom. This period of family life led her to a journey of self-discovery, ultimately guiding her to pursue a career in psychotherapy.
Sonia became a Registered Psychotherapist in 2016, founding her own private practice, and joined the Connected Parenting team in 2018, where she works with children, teens, adults, couples, and families.
In April 2021, Sonia’s life took a dramatic turn when her husband was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and ALS. She took a break from her practice to care for him until he died in October 2022. Sonia credits her education, work experience, and personal resilience for helping her navigate this challenging period. Now, her professional focus has expanded to helping families cope with grief, bereavement, death, and dying.
What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach used to address and treat mental health conditions, emotional difficulties, and personal challenges. While psychotherapists are not licensed to diagnose mental illness or prescribe medication, their work can complement medical treatment. Psychotherapists employ various evidence-based techniques and methods to help individuals improve their mental well-being, gain insights into their emotions, and develop coping strategies for managing life's difficulties.
