You need a safe space, free of judgment to work through anxiety, stress, trauma, and building healthy relationships.

Hi, I’m Sydney, and I am here to offer that space. I seek to empower you to pull on the strengths you already have to navigate life stressors by promoting healing, nurturing an authentic self-image, and strengthening relationships.

I take a trauma-informed and strength-based approach to counseling, tailored to the individual needs of clients in the Black, African Diaspora, and LGBTQIA+ communities. Additionally, I work with Highly Sensitive Persons. My goal is to help you in managing difficult emotions, experiences and relationships. However, we will collaborate on the focus of sessions so that you are comfortable with your treatment goals. It is most important that you have a voice in your care!

I often help with the following concerns:

  • Racial and Relational Trauma
  • Attachment Wounds
  • Trauma and PTSD
  • Stress, Anxiety and OCD
  • Interpersonal Relationships
  • Ethical/Consensual Non-Monogamy
  • Inclusion and Belonging
  • Issues with Family of Origin
  • Intersectional Identity Work
  • Major Life Transitions
  • Boundaries, Coping Skills and Mindfulness

If you are seeking ethical/consensual non-monogamy coaching for yourself and your partner(s) we wouldn’t focus on issues traditionally focused on in therapy. Instead, we would focus on you and your partner working through relationship goals such as better communication, boundaries, trust, combating jealousy, navigating individual trauma backgrounds, and cultivating a mutually beneficial relationship.
