Her clinical background spans private practice, school settings, and youth rehabilitation services for drug and alcohol dependence.

Her approach is warm, empathetic, and person-centred. Sonja strives to create a supportive and collaborative therapeutic space where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered as they work toward meaningful change and improved well-being.
