What We Do

Sydney collaborates with clients to manage a variety of conditions and stressors, including anxiety, depression, trauma, attention deficit disorder, relationship challenges, and work-related stressors. Typically, the first step in working with Sydney is a brief phone discussion, followed by a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to determine if ongoing medication management and/or psychotherapy is right for you. She also offers consultations for people who are already in treatment but want another opinion or to consider other treatment options.

Therapy

Sydney believes in highly individualized treatment, focusing on each client’s unique needs. To assist in creating healthier habits, reducing stress, and breaking unhelpful patterns, such as rumination, negative self-talk, and compulsive worry, Sydney uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, supportive therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing. If you have a therapist or counselor you already work with, Sydney will work collaboratively with them.

Medication

Medication in tandem with therapy is frequently the most effective treatment. Sydney can determine if medication is right for you. By empowering you with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision, Sydney helps you find the right medication and supports you along the way. 

Working Together

Sydney believes in seeing fewer clients and taking time to provide the best care possible for each individual. She meets with clients depending on their needs, ranging from once a week to once a month; the frequency and length of sessions can be modified to meet each individual’s specific needs and goals.
