About Me
Are you ready to start moving through life authentically and embrace the full experience of being human? Welcome - I’m Sydne and I help individuals who are motivated & curious about looking inwards. We'd be a great fit if: You are wanting to explore who you are on a deeper level or wanting to grow/evolve/adapt in healthy ways, you are eager to heal from past traumas and better understand the dynamics/roles you find yourself in today and/or, you think it would be helpful to have a dedicated safe space to process the high level of baseline stress from being a human in 2025. I specialize in working with adults and older adults with difficulties managing stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, spirituality, existentialism, grief, and aging.
Education & Experience
I graduated from the University of Delaware with a BA in Psychology and a BS in Cognitive Science. I furthered my education at NYU Silver School of Social Work for my masters. I have training in evidence based modalities including EMDR, CBT, DBT, CPT, crises interventions, and trauma informed care. I have also completed a 200 hour yoga teacher training. I value ongoing professional development and stay current with emerging research and evidence-based practices in mental health and therapeutic modalities.
Professional & Volunteer Affiliations
My clients describe me as warm, genuine, curious, and patient. You show up fully as yourself, I'll show up fully as myself, and we'll work collaboratively to build the life you want and deserve to be living. Humans face a remarkable range of experiences - I'm here to assure you that you do not need to do it all on your own. Whatever it is that brings you to therapy is valid and I am looking forward to sitting with you.
