In addition to counseling, Sydney works with students in various settings including mentoring through a local ministry and coaching middle school cross country.

We are wired to connect with one another. And the nature of pain is that it can cause us to withdraw from those around us, including from ourselves. This is where I try to help; I take the art of listening seriously and recognize that being heard is a part of the therapy process. Experiences with depression, anxiety, relationships, substances and much more all impact & interfere with our ability to connect with others and with being comfortable with ourselves. If this is where you are, please contact me to see if I would be a good fit for you.

Unresolved Trauma, Chronic Stress, and Anxiety can leave you feeling out-of-control and out-of-touch with the version of yourself you long to know. You may experience toxic shame, excessive guilt, helplessness, or a myriad of physical symptoms. Maybe you want to enjoy your life but you feel trapped by your past, fearful of your future, and disconnected from your present. It can feel scary to start this journey because you’ve become "comfortable" with the way things are even though you want them to be different.

The relationships we form with intimate partners and ourselves are vulnerable and very often confusing and scary. My goal is to help you create secure attachments, explore and manage anxiety and fears, increase self-esteem, and improve connection within yourself and loved ones. Many that I work with have experienced sexual, childhood, or relationship trauma that can cause anxiety, undesired attachments, difficulty to regulate emotions, and connections that do not feel fulfilling. You may feel lost and vulnerable within your relationship with yourself and your partner. You deserve a safe space to express and explore these dynamics.
