About Sunya

Her practice addresses anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy struggles, addiction, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and caregiver stress among other issues. She also supports people dealing with attachment questions, adoption and foster care histories, body image, and coping with major life changes.

Online session options
How Narrative and ACT work in online sessions
Sunya blends Narrative therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people rework their life stories and act on what matters. Narrative work looks at the stories people carry about themselves and their relationships and helps them find alternative, more helpful narratives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and choosing actions that align with personal values.She approaches this work collaboratively. Early sessions focus on what matters most to the client, their goals, and what has and hasn’t helped before. Together they try different techniques and decide which approaches fit the client’s needs and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or hands-free discussion is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, written reflection, or when a written format helps someone process thoughts. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
