Throughout her years in practice, Sonya has walked alongside adolescents facing everything from anxiety and depression to identity struggles and family conflict. She understands that today’s teens are navigating a world full of pressure—from social media and peer influence to academic stress and personal insecurities. More than ever, they need tools that speak not only to their minds but also to their hearts. Sonya’s approach goes beyond surface-level solutions, offering support that empowers young people to build inner strength, emotional awareness, and a sense of divine purpose.
In her latest work, Expressions: A 30-Day Journey for Teens, Sonya offers a reflective journal that is as heartfelt as it is healing. This isn’t just a place to write down thoughts—it’s a sanctuary. Each entry is designed to help teens process their emotions, confront internal battles, and cultivate a deeper connection with God. Through carefully crafted prompts, scripture-based encouragement, and space for honest expression, Expressions becomes a trusted companion for teens navigating confusion, loneliness, grief, pressure, or self-doubt.
Every page encourages intentional reflection, offering practical coping strategies such as breathing exercises, prayer prompts, gratitude practices, and emotional check-ins. Teens are guided to not only name what they feel but also explore where those feelings come from and how to manage them with grace and truth. By integrating biblical wisdom with therapeutic techniques, Sonya equips young people to build confidence, resilience, and a strong foundation of faith.
Expressions is more than a journal—it’s a reminder of worth. Whether a teen is facing big emotional storms or simply trying to understand their identity in a noisy world, this journey affirms their value at every step. Sonya’s gentle voice echoes throughout the pages, reminding readers:
You are not alone. You are not broken. You are deeply valued. Your voice matters—and your journey is sacred.
