Every woman deserves to feel powerful in her own life. We forget how strong, resilient, and deeply worthy we really are, whether you're in the thick of new motherhood, grieving a loss that changed everything, running on empty, or simply tired of feeling like you're not enough. Wherever you are, you are already enough. And I'm here to help you see it, feel it, and reclaim it. Hey there! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor (LPCC-S) with over 12 years of experience dedicated to supporting and empowering women through life's transitions-because life is always life-ing. My specialty is perinatal mental health. As a certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International, I walk alongside women through pregnancy, postpartum, the fourth trimester, traumatic birth, and loss-the seasons that change you in ways no one fully prepares you for. I support women navigating: Perinatal and postpartum depression and anxiety Perinatal OCD and traumatic birth Mother and infant attachment Parenting in recovery Pregnancy and infant loss and grief The fog of depression, anxiety, or stress blocking your path back to yourself Burnout from expectations you never should have carried alone Compassion fatigue — for the helpers, healers, and caretakers who pour from an empty cup Grief of a person, relationship, lifestyle, or a version of yourself Life. The deep, bone-tired desire to stop surviving and start healing Fresh endings and new beginnings This is an inclusive, affirming space that celebrates all backgrounds, identities, and family structures.

The one question I get most often by clients and peers is: Why did you go into the counseling profession? My response is always the same. First, I have always had a desire to help people in a time of need or distress. I have felt this way as far back as high school. Secondly, I went through a debilitating anxiety disorder in my mid-twenties. I know first-hand the helplessness and desperation mental and emotional pain causes. I never condone a therapist sharing with a client, they know how the client feels unless they themselves have experienced a similar type of pain. Lastly, I believe in the power of counseling and the benefits it can offer. Counseling is very different from medicine. Counseling requires the client to be actively involved in the process of healing and growth rather than taking medication and waiting for it to work. Counseling empowers a client to by allowing them to see their progress towards the life they desire on a daily, weekly, and even monthly basis.

My commitment lies in providing evidence-based practices that help clients manage their emotions and reduce unhelpful thought patterns while empowering them to confidently cope with life's challenges and achieve their goals. My approach is strengths-based and solution-focused, with specialties in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

Hi, I’m Sydney: therapist, practice owner, and forensic social worker, but most of all, lover of stories. I believe people deserve to be truly seen and understood in context. As a therapist, I am often more interested in the lived experience beneath the “presenting problems” than symptom reduction alone. As a human, I feel honored and grateful to hear your story up close.

This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
