About Me

Hi there, I'm Sydney!

I'm a Nevada local, a mental health therapist with a license in Clinical Social Work, and I have 5+ years of experience in social services and mental health practice. I have social work degrees from both UNLV and UNR because, although I live in southern Nevada now, I was raised in rural Nevada and I'm passionate about serving the needs of all Nevadans.

My specialties include the LGBTQ+ community, stress and life adjustment, depression, anxiety, as well as ADHD and neurodivergence. My therapy techniques include CBT, DBT, and polyvagal theory. I'm excited to get to know you and work together on your goals!

Therapy Methods

Polyvagal Theory

This modality is like “Neuroscience 101.” We work on the parts of the brain that are active or inactive during different moods and states of mind, and regulate emotions together along with the body and mind.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT is a technique that uses self-awareness to identify thoughts and feelings that are unhelpful or untrue, and change them to be more reality-based and positive.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

The DBT method practices coping skills like mindfulness and grounding to tolerate stress better, reduce intensity of emotions, and improve interpersonal skills.
