Meet the Founder.
Hi, I’m Sonni—a Board Certified Christian Counselor, Biblical Counselor, and Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern. I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Claflin University and my Master’s in Social Work from the University of South Florida. I’m a Certified Trauma Professional with advanced training in grief, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP). I’ve also worked extensively in Florida’s Child Welfare system, supporting children and families through tough transitions, including adoption.
But credentials aside—my journey into this work didn’t start in a textbook or classroom—it started with my own life. I know all too well pain of brokenness, the weight of unspoken grief, and the long road of healing. What kept me grounded was my faith. I held onto the truth that God cared deeply what I was going—and I believe that God cares deeply for you as well!
What truly defines my work is compassion, honesty, and the belief that with the right support and God’s grace, healing is possible. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to walk with you. You don’t have to carry it alone.
This work is personal to me. It’s ministry. It’s purpose. And it’s my honor to help others experience peace, healing, and freedom—in the name of Jesus.
