Psychiatrists in Beaverton, OR

Are you feeling anxious, depressed and/or unmotivated? Do your dreams and goals seem out of reach? Have you been told that you are physically present but emotionally absent in relationships? Maybe your difficult emotions get in your way and you want to move past them, but you aren’t sure how to do it. Have you been with a life coach but want to go further in your transformation? Are you staying in therapy but you don’t seem to be going anywhere? You need more specific strategies and a better support system to empower yourself. Then you’d feel most alive and aligned with yourself.

My primary focus is improving the day-to-day function of my patients, which impacts their relationships and interactions with others, their ability to live more fully in the present moment, and fosters opportunities for self-growth and development. I utilize a wholistic, biopsychosocial approach to mental health treatment, with treatment plans personalized to each of my patients. I help patients to learn to monitor their mental health symptoms effectively, and develop lifelong habits and routines that will continue to transform their lives even after concluding our work together.

If you are struggling with your mental health, whether it be from stress due to life changes, depression, anxiety, issues in your personal life or work, or simply because you've decided to finally take a step in taking better care of yourself, I can help. While my primary mode of treatment is medication management, I provide holistic care that considers all of the aspects of you as an individual: emotional, physical, social and spiritual.

I'm an adult, child, and adolescent psychiatrist with a particular focus on psychotherapy. I use different modalities including, psychodynamic psychotherapy, behavioral, and family systems. Whenever possible, I prioritize non-pharmacological interventions.

I believe in a prescriptive approach to emotional intelligence, grounded in authenticity and openness within a space of mutual respect. At Principle Mind, we take a personalized, principled approach to patient care. If you’re motivated and open to change, we can work together to truly improve your well-being. I use medication as a stepping stone to wellness, combined with the development of emotional intelligence and the understanding of human connection. This powerful combination can lead to lasting constructive change. I use a structured approach that emphasizes connective dynamics, emotional logic, and trauma-aware care.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others, struggle to prioritize your needs, or have difficulty managing constant distractions and restlessness? Are you overwhelmed by balancing relationships, careers, and personal goals, especially with the added challenges of ADHD, depression, or other mental health struggles? These struggles can leave you feeling anxious, and uncertain. Neglecting your needs and failing to take time for self-care can lead to long-term mental and physical health issues. We understand these challenges and believe that achieving a happier, more focused, and balanced life shouldn’t be so difficult.

Are you ready to get better? I am a board-certified psychiatrist (medical doctor) who partners with patients using a personalized treatment approach which can include medications, education, and talk therapy. While I treat a variety of mental health conditions, I specialize in helping those with anxiety and depression to get to a better place. I also help others explore the impact of society, culture, and relationships on their mental health. I am a BIPOC/AAPI/Asian provider and identify as Filipina-American.

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.
