About Sonya

Hi there! I am a follower of Jesus with over 25 years of experience in the mental health field including community mental health, hospice bereavement care, and private practice therapy. 

​​​​It's a combination of my own stories, experiences, and training that have led me to uniquely understand how trauma affects our hearts, minds & bodies. Whether it is small "t" trauma that has happened over time, or big "T" trauma that happened once, I can walk with you to explore where Jesus is inviting you to healing and freedom. I utilize the Scriptures and the truth of the Gospel as the foundation of my work with clients, while also understanding the complexities of grief, trauma and abuse.

Services

  • Focuses on healing trauma and abuse through a Biblical lens with a foundation on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. ​Includes talk therapy with a narrative and attachment focus, EMDR, and addressing the spiritual impact of trauma and wounding. You are invited to explore stories of harm with a focus on curiosity and compassion.

    I am licensed in the State of Missouri as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and can also provide therapy to those who reside in Arkansas through the Counseling Compact. Therapy sessions are done via telehealth and are most often biweekly, weekly, or twice per week.

    $165 per 50-minute hour

  • Telehealth Intensive therapy sessions are 3 hours long and are available on Fridays. Intensives are a good fit for those who may not have time to do a regular weekly or biweekly session or may want the benefit of getting positive results sooner. With intensive sessions, there is freedom to dig in more deeply to what you want to work on, allowing healing to happen at a faster rate. Intensive therapy sessions typically combine a mix of talk therapy, story work, EMDR, inner healing, and prayer. 

    $525 per 3-hour session
