Saint Matthews, KY 40207
I specialize in adoption trauma, racial identity, and anxiety disorders.
My ideal client is someone who recognizes the need for change in their life, but may not know how to go about it to produce positive results. I treat adults and teens who are struggling with trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, and relationship /situationship issues. In addition, cultivating self-awareness and figuring out what goals you have is a big part of therapy no matter what you come in with and is something everyone could benefit from. Being open to talk about hard things is difficult, but also very brave. I see it as a privilege to get to work with those who are ready to make that step in a safe validating environment.

I also have experience with anger management, parenting issues and multicultural concerns. I hold a range of clinical expertise and experience working with adults from a place of compassion, understanding and in a judgement free environment.

Life can be hard. Sometimes we can feel like we are falling into the same old patterns and asking ourselves the same unhelpful questions. This can be difficult because we often get stuck here rather than finding the growth and progress that we desire. As a therapist, my hope is to help you better understand this feeling of "stuckness” the various things which lead us to this space.

If you feel like you're on the margins of society in some way, perhaps struggling with the constraints of traditional norms, and worry that therapy might feel stifling or judgmental, you're not alone. Most of us don't fit neatly into standardized societal boxes. The trauma of trying to conform and fit in may weighs heavily. As a therapist, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your identity, experiences, and challenges without fear of invalidation. Together, we can navigate the complexities of your unique journey towards healing and self-discovery, honoring and celebrating the multifaceted aspects of, you.

I enjoy working with a variety of people. I know how difficult it can be to make that first step towards healing by seeing a therapist. I want to meet you along the way in making that step as simple as I can. My goal is to ensure that we are a good fit to collaborate and then determine what your most pressing needs are. I am especially interested in working with BIPOC individuals who are moving past cultural assumptions about mental health and pursuing healing in the midst of their doubts.

Navigating life with all of its twists and turns can be very overwhelming. It can be difficult to figure out which pathway to choose towards stability, understanding and comfortability. I believe we can find our way by connecting our emotions, thoughts and feelings to our reality. I am passionate about slowing down our thoughts, engaging our emotions and finding connection points along the way.

Hi, I'm Sydnee! Are you looking to find ways to make life a little easier or learn more about yourself? I work with teens, young adults, and adults to help them grow in the areas they struggle with the most. We will spend our first session getting to know each other and figuring out how we can work best together. After that, our sessions are led by you; what's on your mind, what you're struggling with, and what you need from me.

It is a goal of mine to make sure that you feel valued, heard and understood. I see counseling as something that is beneficial to all individuals, in every stage of life; whether you are feeling overwhelmed or just need someone who you can process the day to day with. I believe that in counseling you should be able to vocalize your needs throughout sessions. Sometimes what you need in the beginning of therapy changes and evolves, that is perfectly okay and welcomed! Counseling is for you, you decide what you want to bring to the session because you are the expert of your life.

I believe that every client is an individual living within a larger system that impacts their well-being, and that change must happen on multiple levels to truly improve someone's quality of life. I believe that improving a client's confidence and sense of safety is a crucial part of the therapeutic process.
