About Me

I’m Sonya Jensen, LMFT-S, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor, Certified Gottman Therapist, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

I’ve been married for over 20 years to a U.S. Navy veteran, and we’ve raised two children together (along with a couple of dogs who keep life full and interesting). I’ve also written three books on relationships and personal growth, and for a period of time served as an Adjunct Professor at Saint Edward’s University, supporting graduate students in their clinical training.

If you’re here, chances are something in your relationship feels difficult right now. Maybe communication feels strained, conflict keeps repeating itself, or the connection that once felt easy feels harder to access. Whatever brought you here, I’m really glad you’re taking this step.

I’ve been working in the field since 2011, and over the years I’ve developed a deep respect for how complex—and meaningful—relationships truly are. My path into couples therapy began with a genuine curiosity about what actually helps relationships last. What I’ve learned, both professionally and personally, is that love alone isn’t enough. Healthy relationships require skills, awareness, and a willingness to grow together through challenge and change.

My work is grounded in research-based approaches, including the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, trauma-informed care, and sex therapy. These frameworks allow me to help couples understand the patterns they’re caught in and develop new ways of communicating, repairing conflict, and reconnecting—both emotionally and physically.

Today, I work with couples who care deeply about their relationship but feel stuck in cycles of conflict, distance, or misunderstanding. My goal is to create a space where both partners feel heard, respected, and supported, while also helping you build a relationship that feels more stable, connected, and genuinely fulfilling.
