I’m Sonia, a therapist for overthinkers & deep feelers

Sonia (she/her) specializes in therapy for over thinkers and deep feelers focusing on life transitions, relationship changes, and personal growth.

Remember when therapy wasn’t really a thing? At least, not in my family, my South Asian community, or the spaces I grew up in. Paying someone to air out family drama? Yeah, no. If you had problems, you figured them out yourself—or ignored them over chai and a salty snack. Therapy? That was for people with real problems and extra money.

But life doesn’t care about what we think we should do. Picture this (if you get the reference, we’re meant to work together): I was in my early 20s, juggling a grueling college schedule, trying to eat healthy, work out, maintain friendships, show up for family, work a retail job, and become a dentist (spoiler: that didn’t happen). On the outside, I had it together. Inside? I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and overthinking everything. Every decision felt like life or death. Every interaction replayed in my head a hundred times. Every feeling was big.

If you’re an over-thinker or a deep feeler, you get it. Your brain never stops running, analyzing, second-guessing. Logically, things are “fine,” but internally? Not so much. You feel stuck between too much and not enough—somehow both at once.

So, I did something no one I knew had ever done: I found a therapist. Not on my first try. I wanted someone who understood the immigrant experience, family expectations, the balancing act of two cultures. I didn’t find that unicorn therapist, but I found someone who helped me see myself—and that changed everything.

When I was looking for a therapist, I needed someone who would validate my experiences but also challenge me. Someone I could be real with, without fear of judgment. And honestly? I wasn’t about to sit across from someone in a stiff pantsuit taking notes on a clipboard (but if that’s your vibe, no judgment). Instead, I found someone who was kind, had soft lighting in their office, and casually sipped Diet Coke during our sessions. It was exactly what I needed.

Starting therapy is a big step. It might feel unfamiliar, uncomfortable. You might wonder, Do I just cry? Will they fix my life? What if people find out? Many of us were taught to keep it in, distract ourselves, and move on. But if you’re here, something in you is ready for a shift.

My approach is psychodynamic and relational—meaning we’ll explore how your past shapes your present, how relationships impact your emotions, and how to quiet that overthinking mind. But therapy works when there’s trust, and that’s something we’ll build together.

If this resonates, let’s connect. Book a consultation, and let’s see if we’re a good fit.
