Individual Counselor (CIT)
Hi, I’m Sydney. I believe therapy is a space where you can explore new and sometimes challenging parts of yourself in a way that feels safe, supportive, and grounded. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and having someone to walk alongside you can make a meaningful difference as you begin to better understand yourself and your experiences.
My approach is person-centered, rooted in empathy, authenticity, and genuine connection. I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up as you are, sharing your story, and moving at a pace that feels right for you.
I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults who are navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, or seeking a deeper understanding of themselves. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and strengths-based approaches to support you in building confidence, developing practical coping tools, and creating meaningful change in your daily life.
I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Capella University and earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Whitman University, where I was also a student-athlete. As a counselor-in-training, I aim to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and valued.
