Hi there, my name is Sydney and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist here to assist you in your therapeutic journey. I was born and raised in Sonoma County and am now serving my community via both in-person and telehealth. I have experience working in community mental health, school-based, and private practice settings. I am dedicated to my clients and enjoy seeing growth and self-exploration through our journey together.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My goal from the first session is for you to feel heard, validated, safe, transparent and open. You will be supported, accepted and encouraged to lean into your challenges to find dynamic and helpful solutions. Working with adults, I use my early childhood development knowledge to help heal the inner child and past traumas and/or challenges that may be holding you back from living a present and fulfilled life.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I work from a client-centered approach using dynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have experience working from a trauma-informed, collaborative, client-centered approach in both individual and family therapy. I work with children, young adults, families and adults of all ages to help reflect on challenges and co-create goals to help strengthen a happy and healthier version of you.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I would like to primarily focus on young adults 18-30, but open to other ages
