She completed her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Nova Southeastern University in 2012 and received her Master of Science in Nursing specializing in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner track from Florida International University.

Life is hard and it’s okay to not be okay. Mental health is Sonia’s passion. She’s here to help and see you thrive.
“after trying more than 3 medications, Sonia had me do I dna swab in the mouth and it found I was only good for two medications. This has greatly sped up the process.”
I received a bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 1997 and a master’s degree in family psychiatric mental health nursing from the University of Missouri, Columbia in 2010. I have worked in every area and level of care in psychiatry for over 20 years. My practice is evidence-based built on the foundation of my education which focused on how to assess research in order to understand and effectively utilize it in practice. I work collaboratively and want to provide as much education so you are a partner in your child’s psychiatric care.
I partner with clients in building resilience, uncovering the joy and meaning in life, identifying and achieveing goals, and improving relationships with self and others. I believe that authenticity, warmth, and compassion are the foundation of healthy, healing relationships. My care provision is intentional, trauma informed, and patient centered. I operate from the premise that clients are the experts in their own lives and that recovery is possible for everyone. I have an expert knowledge of evidence based psychopharmacology and take a conservative approach to prescribing. I provide supportive psychotherapy within a bio-psycho-social and holistic framework and believe that lifestyle and community are primary sources of wellness. I believe in a collaborative approach to care provision, and partner with clients in finding creative and individually focused solutions that are realistic and sustainable. In addition to clinical practice I teach and supervise doctoral students at OHSU.
